Monster Unit Year 2 Fiction Narrative and Poetry

Year 2 English Writing Unit
This is a unit of work based on Monsters and a short clip.
There are two weeks of English Fiction planning that incorporates immersion activities, imagination ideas, and opportunities for children to write simple poetry about feelings of fear. The unit then moves on to watching the short clip and planning ideas for a narrative. Children describe the monster, where it has come from and write their own adventure story. ‘The day I found monster under my bed.’
The resources includes ideas of how to use the monster theme for topic work including DT and making a pesky monster punch drink, and thinking of ideas about how to trap a monster.
Please also additional linked resources called ‘How to trap a wild thing.’ in the shop for Instructions only. Their are also ideas for monster ink art and science inflatable monsters ideas in the Powerpoint.
It is considered useful to set children a holiday task/project before the unit commences and this has also been included.
