Wolves in The Wall Planning Plus Literacy Arguments Neil Gaiman
Great 4 weeks planning for this Literacy topic.
Really nice powerpoints.
Plus free bonus. Plenty of argument planning using Olympics.
Example planning :
Identify and discuss the various features of a fiction text, including characters, settings, themes and dilemmas, the author’s intentions, the structure and organisation of the text and the way language is used to create effects on the reader.
Speaking
Use the techniques of dialogic talk to explore ideas, topics or issues.
Creating and shaping texts
Set their own challenges to extend achievement & experience in writing.
Understanding and interpreting texts
Understand how writers use different structures to create coherence and impact.
Text structure and organisation
Use varied structures to shape and organise text coherently
Sentence structure and punctuation
Express subtle distinctions of meaning, including hypothesis, speculation and supposition, by constructing sentences in varied ways
Use punctuation to clarify meaning in complex sentences
To produce several pieces of writing based around the focus text.
To learn and identify the features of a formal/impersonal text and comment on occasions where this may be necessary.
To produce a formal letter, speech and broadcast using appropriate form, features and content.
Remind children of last week’s immersion into the focus text. TTYP – what did you think of the text? If you could talk to the author, what would you say to him? Ask him?
Display a ‘Likes/Dislikes/Patterns/Questions’ board on the whiteboard. Explain that we are going to focus on the ‘patterns’ section today.
Re-read the last few pages of the book and add ‘false endings’ to the patterns section.
Have some photocopied pages from the book in the centre of the tables (each table to have different pages).
Give groups ten minutes to note any patterns they see on whiteboards.
Come back together and note on the board to include:
False endings.
Simile
Lucy asking her Mother, Father and brother for advice, always in that order.
Adjectives for the noises she hears.
Alliteration and onomatopoeia.
Phrase “You know what they say…”
Appearance of pig puppet.
What effect do these patterns have on the reader? They give the text fluency, a rhythm almost like a poem. They make the text easier to read and digest. The repetition also mimics the repetition of Lucy’s pleas to her family to listen to her about the noises. They make the reader frustrated on Lucy’s behalf.
Have one child write a definition of ‘atmosphere’ on a sentence strip for the working wall. A general feeling or mood.
There are a few different atmospheres in this book. Discuss. List tension, frustration, relief etc on the board.

Big Write Big Writing Teaching Materials Lessons Planning Creative Writing
During my time as a teacher, I enjoyed doing a Big Write or Big Writing.
I’ve gathered all my materials together.
I liked it as it kept the children occupied all week, leading to a big write on Friday Mornings.
There’s some great ideas and powerpoints in here.
I’ve included a lot of Greek Myths stuff as I remember this as the best Big Write.
sample :
To understand the features of myths
Introduce the topic of Myths and Legends. Mind map any ideas about ‘myths’ children already have.
Explain that the class will be building up their own myth. With each group working on a different aspect of the myth. Show success criteria – list of features of a myth.
Read Theseus and the Minotaur, pick out the different features of the myth, evident in this story.
Each group will discuss and write ideas for each section.
LA (Supported by Ta)
Group 1: Describe the hero of the myth.
Group 2: Describe the monster of the myth.
Children will write ideas, words on post-it notes.
If this was a full lesson:
Put together all the different groups’ ideas to build a storyboard for the class myth.
As a class, decide on a title for our class ‘myth’.
Children can: identify all the features of myths
Features of a ‘myth’
· When and where is it set?
· A hero/heroine
· What is the problem?
· Does the hero have special powers?
· Fantastical beast
· The hero’s journey
· The conflict
· The solution
· How does it end?
· Is it interesting?
MA (Supported by ta)
Group 3: Describe the setting of the myth.
Group 4: Describe the journey the hero will make.
Children will write ideas, words on post-it notes.
HA (Supported by Ta)
Group 5: Describe the problem the hero will face.
Group 6: Describe the resolution to the problem.
Children will write ideas, words on post-it notes.

Back to School Literacy Year 6 Stories by significant authors J K Rowling
Lots of great planning for an exciting unit.
Nice powerpoints.
Sample :
Share the learning outcome for the unit with the children; share the concept of the working wall. What is narrative? Fact or fiction? Ascertain that this unit is about fiction/narrative/stories. We have three weeks to achieve our learning outcome.
Ask children what they know about JK Rowling. Who is she? What is her job? (use correct terminology- she is an ‘author) Where is she from? (Born in Gloucestershire) Can children name any of her books? (Harry Potter series plus several supplements)
Etc.
Activity One
Come back together, show children a picture of JK Rowling – does this help?
Children to move to next group’s poster and add any more info that they can now think of. Is there anything they agree/disagree with?
Lead into a class discussion on this famous children’s author:
Has anybody read any of her books?
What are her stories about? What genre do you think her stories are written in? (Clarify what we mean by ‘genre’ if needed). What is the purpose of narrative writing? (Display ‘to entertain and enthrall’ on the working wall).
Read first tale from ‘Tales of the Beadle Bard’ – The Wizard and the Hopping Pot. Discuss what is distinctive about this story (what does it remind you of?)

Back to School Autumn Planning Year 1 Massive Amount of Work Literacy Maths
Short of ideas for year one Autumn term?
Put my planning from different schools together.
It’s all in the zip file. I’ve put some examples in the general upload but there is TONS more in the included zip file.
Lots of different types of planning as my schools were all different.
There’s lots of free stuff too that is adaptable e.g. year 2 work.
sample :
Today we are going to read ‘Titch’ together. Read Titch under the visualiser. Does this remind you something that has happened to you? Can children identify with the characters/settings and events? Discuss with talk partners and beach ball/bean bag ideas.
Look at some cvc words; start with hen; who can spell this word on the IWB? What is the 1st sound? Get a child to write it down. Can you tell your talk partner some words that rhyme with this? Make a list. Robins/Bears [AA]
Talk about how Titch might feel. Do they feel like that?
Children to write sentence/s about how the children feel. Chicks/Giraffes [A]
Talk about how Titch might feel. Do they feel like that?
Children to write a sentence about how the children feel. Octopus [BA]
Talk about how Titch might feel. Do they feel like that? CT/TA to scribe some sentences about how the children feel. Listen to sentences that children have came up with about the story. Can we suggest any other sentences about ‘Titch’. Teacher to scribe them on IWB and save them for later.

Romeo and Juliet Shakespeare Planning Powerpoint Year 5
Planning to teach Shakespeare’s play.
Great powerpoints.
Sample planning :
Begin by introducing the new topic and the learning outcome. We will be studying ‘older’ literature. Explain that older literature is defined as anything written before 1914 but we are going to look at much older than this!
Show a picture of William Shakespeare: children to TTYP –
Who is this man?
What is he famous for?
Can you name any of his works?
Come back together and elicit that William Shakespeare was an author – not of stories but of plays and sonnets (poems). Talk about some of his more famous work and explain that he wrote 38 plays and over 160 sonnets.
Shakespeare was born in 1564 and died in 1616. He produced most of his work between 1589 and 1613 – why do you think he wrote mostly plays rather than stories? Elicit that he was an actor so he loved the stage and he intended his works to be acted out rather than just read and also because of the times. TV and film were not entertainment options and the majority of people couldn’t read so going to the theatre or watching an outside performance was very popular.
List the main characters on the board, to include:
The Capulets
Juliet
Lady Capulet (Juliet’s mother)
Lord Capulet (Juliet’s father and head of the family)
Tybalt (Juliet’s cousin and enemy of Romeo)
Nurse (Juliet’s nanny)
Paris (wants to marry Juliet)
The Montagues
Romeo

Year 4 Literacy Newspapers reports Six weeks short term plans
6 weeks short term plans.
sample
What newspapers and magazines can the pupils name?
What are the articles usually about?
Discuss the purpose of a newspaper.
WALT – know the features of a newspaper text.
WILF – good expression
Read through the opening paragraph of a newspaper article. Children to discuss the features and the structure of the opening paragraph.
Newspaper articles have all of the important information in the opening paragraph. The opening paragraph is not overly descriptive. This information includes who, what, when, where, why and how. (It is written this way because most people do not read an entire newspaper article all the way through. So newspaper writers put the most important information at the beginning).
Children wrote learn the opening paragraph of a newspaper article. Firstly as a class, followed by group work.
Recap the features of an opening paragraph of an article. SW – target group to discuss the features of the article.

Dramatic conventions.

What do you think this means? (Dramatic conventions may be categorized into groups, such as rehearsal, technical or theatrical. Rehearsal conventions can include hot seating, role on the wall and still images. Technical conventions can include lighting, dialogue, monologue, set, costuming and entrances/exits. Theatrical conventions may include split focus, flashback/flashforward, narration, soliloquy and spoken thought)
Explain that we will be focusing on the technical conventions side especially the dialogue/script
As a class watch part of this news round clip:
