These resources support a set of lessons on purposeful persuasive letter writing (KS2).
Based on research I did to write Vlad and the First World War, they focus on Walter Tull and Phoebe Chapple. Both could have been awarded the Military Cross, but prevailing attitudes discriminated against them. The lessons support writing a letter to persuade the Ministry of Defence to award them posthumously.
It includes a set of lesson plans linked to the literacy curriculum, templates for making notes and crib sheets if you want to focus on the letter writing rather than note taking. There are website links for research and 2 videos summarising their lives.
Government offices respond to letters so if sent will receive a letter back.
Further resources are available on the Reading Riddle website along with information on my books and school visits.
