Travel writing scheme of work

15 lessons, fully planned, originally delivered to Year 8 but can easily be adapted to other year groups (including KS2). Each lesson begins with a covering slide for teacher’s reference, briefly detailing the lesson, whether homework has been set and if any resources are required.

Activities within this scheme include analysing Bill Bryson extracts in preparation for a unit reading assessment; writing in the style of Bill Bryson for writing evidence; comparing Bear Grylls with Michael Palin; and writing a series of blog entries based on an extreme travel adventure.

Whilst this scheme refers to Reading and Writing APP assessments, this can easily be adapted to suit the assessments in your department.
