Year 6 - 'Wonder' Supplementary English Planning Unit

This supplementary unit is specifically designed to help Year 6 teachers in the summer term to generate quality writing outcomes in order to inform their end of year teacher assessments. It comprises four mini-units and is complemented by several shorter independent writing outcomes. Teachers can select which mini-units to cover, or can cover them all dependent on gaps in learning.

The unit focuses on using a quality text (Wonder by R.J. Palacio) to plan a wealth of writing opportunities in a wide range of genres (fiction, non-fiction and poetry). It also provides guidance on how to aim for the higher standard in writing.
