Year 7 English Language Unit of Work - 'Coraline' by Neil Gaiman

This unit is intended to be a transition scheme for Year 7 students. The main focus is writing and the four week unit focuses on refreshing, reiterating and consolidating the skills that students left primary school with at the end of KS2 (as well as building up new skills). By the end of the unit you will know what writing level your students are working at and how this relates to their KS2 SAT grades. The unit is designed to help with target setting. There is also the opportunity to do an informal speaking and listening assessment that will serve as an opportunity for students to get to know each other. The writing assessment can be given a level. There are some lessons that focus on reading skills; these lessons serve as an introduction to inference and deduction.
