9 Weeks of English Planning

This bundle includes 3 units of work with all the resources and display elements you will need for your Working Walls.

The 3 units are:
Creative Writing unit based on Leon and the Place Between by Angela McAllister & Grahame Baker-Smith
Flashbacks unit based on Orange in No Man's Land by Elizabeth Laird
Performance Poetry unit based on Sound Collector by Roger McGough

These units of work use the 3 stage planning process of:
• Stimulate and generate
• Capture, sift and sort
• Create, refine and evaluate

Stimulate and generate = This usually starts with a hook to interest the class where the class realise who they are going to write for so they have a clear purpose and audience. Acticitives can include reading excellent model texts, drama or researching more about the author or the content of the book.

Capture, sift and sort = This is the part of the unit where pupils look at key features, practise skills they will need in order to complete the final piece or new learning for objectives they have not learnt yet.

Create, refine, evaluate = This is where you bring all you have learnt together and plan the final piece before you write it and then edit it to improve the piece. This can include self, peer or teacher led reviewing.
