<p>English writing unit based on an Egyptian myth - Isis and Osiris. I found it very hard to find any Egyptian myths to teach from so wrote my own version from texts I have previously read.</p> <p>The resource includes the unit planning, a PowerPoint with learning objectives, supporting slides and starter slides and supporting resources for some of the sessions.</p> <p>The main part of the unit is getting to know the myth really well in order for the children to write their own myth in a similar style, using the same myth structure. We use story mapping and story stepping to help the children memorise the myth - the children were able to do this within a week using their own words and actions. It is class specific so the resources are not included for story mapping and stepping - it is child led learning.</p> <p>I hope you enjoy the unit. Please leave a review if you did.</p>
