LKS2 Most Influential Founding Father Discussion Writing Unit | Digital & Print

This resource is a LKS2 discussion-based text writing unit discussing who was the most influential founding father of the United States. The unit has been split into four separate lessons which will take students approximately 40-50 minutes each. The Google Slides activity is ideal for distance learning and perfect for students in Year 3 or Year 4 learning about U.S. History.

The first lesson involves students retrieving facts from informational texts about George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, and typing these on to an included fact sheet. In the second lesson students need to use these facts to write three to four paragraphs about the individuals. In the third lesson students need to use prompt sheets to write up an introduction and a conclusion. In the final lesson students need to check their draft paragraphs for mistakes before typing up their work using the template provided.

NO PREP is needed!
