Reading Riddle provides ideas, resources, information and experiences related to reading and history. The aim is to share materials that encourage children to read and bring interactive experiences into the classroom. I am a qualified teacher with 10 years of working in London schools. I write and publish stories packed with historical facts which give hooks to engage children and stimulate their learning and writing.
Using the events of the Great Fire of London, this planning enables children to take an alternative character and write their story. Using drama the children consider the events and write a story set in September 1666.
For further ideas and planning see the Reading Riddle website.
Vlad and the Great Fire of London is available from Amazon or The National Archives bookshop.
