Letters From the Lighthouse inspired writing units for Upper KS2
<p>Here are 6 units of handcrafted writing tasks linked to chapters 1-10 from the Novel ‘Letters from the Lighthouse’ by Emma Carroll. Aimed at Upper KS2, the units allowed children to produce some wonderful work.</p>
<p>Planning and resources are inspired by the document created by ‘National Book Tokens of chapter-by-chapter resources.’ This document outlined fantastic writing opportunities that could be used, and lessons have been created around 6 of these ideas.</p>
<p>Resources include an overview of units; planning; PowerPoints/google slides for each unit and differentiated resources. The majority of units have 2x1.5hr lessons, over a time frame of 3hours. However, the plans are easily adaptable for remote learning and 3 x1hour lessons. Some things included may reference other planning we use (cross curricular work).</p>
<p>Unit 1 - Cinema Evacuation Plan - Instructional Writing<br />
Unit 2 - Missing Person Report - Character Description<br />
Unit 3 - Modern Rationing - Perspective/Persuasive<br />
Unit 4 - Dear Kitty - Autobiographical Recount<br />
