Letter Writing (Years 7 and 8)

The Big Non-Fiction Writing Bundle

The 'Big Non-Fiction Writing Bundle' contains four full schemes of work for 20-25 hours of classroom activities! The four units of work contain everything you need: professionally produced PowerPoint presentations, student worksheets, materials for effective differentiation, peer assessment materials, and of course, detailed teachers' notes. Not only this, but each unit also contains a supportive homework presentation for you to place on your school's VLE, or to use as further extension activities in class. 'Letter Writing' (Audience and Purpose) is a fun unit that takes in 'Harry Potter' and 'The Three Little Pigs', while developing students' skills in producing clear, coherent, formal and informal letters. 'The Real Dickensians' and 'The Iceman' are both investigative units of work that contain a wealth of supportive frameworks to enable you to differentiate your lessons easily - writing frames, placemats, sentence starters, etc., and to enable your students to write cohesive, informative texts. In 'The School Play', students work on planning and delivering a magazine report of a school production, while the teacher (as the magazine's editor) gradually drops in various suggestions that cause writing teams to reconsider their plans and redraft their reports. Separately, the units of work would cost £20, so at £12, the bundle is great value for money as well. I hope it proves to be a really useful addition to your classroom resources.
