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.

Classic and Narrative Poems The Highwayman Alfred Noyes Planning
Lots of powerpoints and planning for this Classic poem.
Sample planning :
Genre: Poetry Unit 2 – Classic/Narrative poems.
Focus Texts: ‘The Highwayman’ by Alfred Noyes. ‘Maggie and the Dinosaur’ by Dave Ward. ‘The Works’ (poetry anthology) by Paul Cookson. ‘The Puffin book of utterly brilliant poetry’ (Anthology) edited by Brian Patten.
Objectives
Primary Framework 7. Make notes on and use evidence from across a text to explain events or ideas
7. Compare different types of narrative and information texts and identify how they are structured
7. Explore how writers use language for comic and dramatic effects
8. Compare the usefulness of techniques such as visualisation, prediction and empathy in exploring the meaning of texts
3. Understand the process of decision making
Learning/Writing outcome: Investigate the structure of narrative poetry. Compose an extra verse to a classic poem. Work as part of a group to perform a poem and to evaluate performances.
LO: Whole Class Shared Learning
Guided and Independent Activities: Plenary:
T Read and investigate a narrative poem. Prepare to share a narrative poem from an anthology: Maggie & the Dinosaur, p463 in The Works by Paul Cookson.
Explain that an Anthology is a collection of poems specially chosen by a person: an anthologist.
Highlight that Narrative poems are poems which tell a story. Point out that not all narrative poems have the same structure although each poem will probably have its own! They often have many verses just like a song, with each verse telling the next part of the story.
Ask the children to respond to the narrative poem we shared. Which parts, lines & words did they enjoy the most? Did they like the way that the poem was read? Narrative poems are often long so they need to be read in a way that keeps the audience interested from start to finish. Just like a good story reader would make a story sound interesting.
Children to be split into mixed ability groups of four and given copies of two poems:

Beowulf Teaching Materials Planning Powerpoints Anglo-Saxons Poetry Year 6 Literacy

Some nice free bonus stuff on History, jewellery and ship making.
Sample
L.O. To use knowledge of quest myths and the Vikings to create a character profile for the main character and hero of our own Viking quest myth story.
I can use my knowledge of quest myths and the Vikings to create a character profile for the main character and hero for my own Viking quest myth story.
Beowulf Lesson 4
STARTER – adjectives
Look at text and highlight in pairs adjectives that describe Beowulf, then using post –it notes in pairs, begin to generate more words form pictures displayed on the IWB of Beowulf in various positions/battles and write some of their own powerful adjectives. These can then be ‘magpied’ by the children during the independent work.
Main activity
Hot seating – Beowulf and the King
Use the questions generated on Wednesday as interview questions. Choose children that would like to play those parts – use a sword and shield if we have one
This will hopefully give the children an idea as to what these main characters are like, their personality and how they think and react to different situations that happen in the story.
Teacher to explain/demonstrate how the profile needs to be complete. Discuss what the words – appearance and personality mean and how they are different.
Independent work
Character profile – Beowulf the hero of their quest myths
Using ‘My Viking Quest Myth Ideas Planning Booklet’ create a character profile for their Beowulf hero by labeling the picture, answering the questions in detail and adding descriptive words and phrases to describe his personality and appearance.
Plenary
Discuss the difference between appearance and personality of a character and what does it mean by special qualities? Because he isn’t a super hero!

Year 4 Literacy and Maths Planning
Gathered together my planning for year 4. Mainly Literacy and Maths.
Spread over a number of years.
You get 690 files.
The zip has the lot. I’ve put some in the general download to give yoiu a flavour.
Sample planning :
Explain to chn that this work for this unit will be based on stories set in imaginary worlds. The Borrowers by Mary Norton is set in a miniature world under the floorboards in an old house. Have chn read any other books (or seen films) set in imaginary worlds, eg Harry Potter, The Chronicles of Narnia, Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, etc. These are fantasy settings that authors have created in their minds, as maps or as drawings, etc. Tolkien drew maps for The Hobbit & The Lord of the Rings, Mary Norton used small everyday objects as furniture and tools, and J K Rowling had the idea for Harry Potter when on a long & boring train journey.
Read 2 versions of the same setting one without some details, description & adjectives and the other in full. After the first reading ask chn if they can picture the classroom clearly in their heads, then ask the same question after the full extract and compare answers. How is the light described? Dim & crimson. How would the atmosphere in the room change if the adjectives used were yellow and bright?
Word sentence level
Remind chn that an adjective is a word that describes somebody/thing. They come before nouns or after verbs such as: be, get, seem, look, eg the frail old woman or she looked old and frail. Overuse of adjectives is as bad as not using any! Show class a passage which adjectives could be removed from this passage? Which are most effective adjectives to be left in the passage?
