Literacy Narrative Writing based on the Stone Age 2 Week Planning

This two-week lesson plan is designed for Year 3 students, combining narrative writing skills with cross-curricular links to the Stone Age history topic. Each day focuses on developing different elements of storytelling—setting, characters, problems, and solutions—within a Stone Age context. The lessons are scaffolded to gradually build students’ ability to write their own narratives, from brainstorming ideas and creating story maps to writing, editing, and improving their stories. Differentiated activities cater to various ability levels, ensuring all students can engage with and succeed in the tasks. The lessons encourage creativity, historical understanding, and literacy development, culminating in a complete Stone Age-themed narrative by the end of the two weeks.
