<p>A series of lessons designed to highlight the use of language in journalism.

<p>This scheme of work is designed to help students understand and create NON-FICTION texts. The scheme of work is designed around travel brochures with the end goal of an assessment in which students create a travel brochure.</p> <p>The lessons include DAFORREST and SOAPSME techniques as well as a breakdown of how to create a front cover and the middle pages of a brochure.</p> <p>The scheme of work did originally include a back cover lesson, but it was far too simple and consisted solely of drawing, which did not add to the linguistic learning.</p> <p>This was replaced with an interactive lesson in which there are sheets about countries like Thailand, Spain, Italy etc printed off and students have to go around the room and fill in their worksheets about each country. This stimulates them to think about the countries that they want to visit and helps with the creation of a non-fiction text!</p>

<p>A lesson and examplar to show students how to write epistolary writing. This was first used for a GCSE class, but has been adapted to be used for KS3/EAL learners too.</p> <p>If you wanted to go further into the interactivity, you could put the districts into a hat or wheel and assign a random district to students (though this requires some knowledge of The Hunger Games).</p>
