<p>This story writing unit is a great introduction to the key features you might find in a story. This unit is suitable for LKS2 although could be adapted to easily suit Year 5. Lessons 1-4 include:<br /> Lesson 1 - Free write (stimulus and support materials) for children to show what they already know about story writing. Although, this could easily become 2 lessons of work.<br /> Lesson 2 - Introduction to fronted adverbials.<br /> Lesson 3 - Use fronted adverbials in writing.<br /> Lesson 4 - Introduction/using direct speech.</p> <p>I hope you enjoy using it. I always find that these lessons allow children to share their creativity when it comes to story writing!</p>
