Buy a Talking Papaya! Persuasion unit KS1 Talk for Writing Method

A non-fiction unit to follow the lovely story of ‘The Papaya That Spoke’ - but could easily be adopted to any talking object/any item!
The unit includes the text map, an idea for an open-ended initial assessment task, planning for immersion, simple boxing up and a ready-to-print powerpoint of pictorial vocabulary. I also included two ideas for innovation - one holding quite close to the idea of a talking item, the other veering into a more general advertising. Hugely successful in our Y1 and Y2 classes, as it has the scope for extending the sentence structures depending on writing experience of the children.
It is a simple and clear model that could be used for LKS2 classes with the view to extending and making it more complex at the innovation stage.
