Quest Stories (Year 5) English

A Year Five unit of work on quest stories inspired by Beowulf. (We used a short copy in class as our model text, and read the book by Michael Morpurgo alongside the unit). Three weeks worth of lessons as we used two lessons to write the story, one to edit and improve, and one to write a final copy.

Please note For two of the lessons, one on dialogue and one on character description, I used Twinkl PPTs (NOT included) so a Twinkl subscription is beneficial, however you can always just add to the slides.

Lesson objectives as below…

LI: To write a story with an imaginary creature. (cold task)
LI: To memorise a text to help support my writing. (T4W)
LI: To understand the meaning, structure and features of a story.
LI: To identify the 5 part story structure.
LI: To write different story openings using description, action and dialogue. x2
LI: To develop a character description. x2 (TWINKL PPT ON SUPERLATIVE/COMPARATIVE)
LI: To create atmosphere through my use of language.
LI: To use dialogue in my writing. (INVERTED COMMAS PPT)
LI: To plan a quest story.
LI:To write a quest story.

The slides are a Smart Notebook file, not a PPT.
There is also a PDF version of the slides but this is, of course, not editable.
