Guy Fawkes and the 5th November Gunpowder Plot: Diary Writing Lesson

A topical lesson for KS2 work related to Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot. This is ideal for some enjoyable and informative creative writing activities around 5th November. The lesson involves exploring the events surrounding the Gunpowder Plot and then using this knowledge to write diary entries by Guy Fawkes. All of the key Gunpowder Plot information and some diary writing input is included in the teaching PowerPoint.

The flexibility of the lesson means that I have been able to use it in Years 4 to 6, but it could also be easily adapted for younger children.
