This 40-page resource has been designed to use alongside Kensuke’s Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo, but can also be done independently of the novel study. Children will write their own last chapters to Kensuke’s Kingdom with a focus on using shifts in formality (with flashbacks). If you aren’t reading the novel, you can use the same idea, introducing the idea of being shipwrecked with a drama activity (included) before the children write their own narrative ending. The pack includes different graphic organisers, resources for lower ability pupils, as well as lesson plans and rubrics. Lessons and objectives are aligned with objectives from the 2014 National Curriculum of England and has links to the Common Core. Digital copies of the files for editing and sharing on digital platforms are available by following the link provided with download.
