KS2 Writing About Another World (5 Lessons)

Five lesson templates for a unit in which KS2 students create another world and write a story that takes place there.

• Lesson 1: Descriptive Writing - Students write a description of their world using the five senses and including imagery.
• Lesson 2: A Guide For Living - Students create a guidebook for living in their world, thinking about the history of the world and the way society functions.
• Lesson 3: Heroes and Villains - Students create a hero and villain for their story and write diary entries for them.
• Lesson 4: Planning a story - Students plot a quest story that takes place in their world.
• Lesson 5: Side characters (optional) - Students create side characters to develop their plot.

These templates can be adapted with warm-ups/texts to suit class texts or topics.
