<p>Unleash the magic of a Gothic Christmas in your classroom with this comprehensive resource! Explore the 5 senses through writing activities, elevate vocabulary with spine-chilling descriptors, and delight in quirky yet educational festive exercises. Designed for 1-2 lessons, this resource is a treasure trove for teachers seeking a perfect blend of creativity and skill-building. Silly activities, model answers, and seamless navigation make this resource an invaluable asset for a captivating Christmas writing experience.</p>
<p>A fun lesson filler that will educate your class on the importance of writing persuasively by sending a letter to Father Christmas convincing him to take them off the naughty list.</p>
<p>It includes a run down on persuasive writing techniques (DAFOREST) and a letter written by Elbert the Elf that demonstrates how to use these techniques in action. It also demonstrates on how to set out a formal letter. I’m using this my MA Year 9 and HA Year 8 but it would be suitable from KS3 to KS4 with some adaptation.</p>
<p>Lesson includes a powerpoint and a printout.</p>
<p>Happy Holidays!</p>
<p>A CVC writing activity that children can complete as part of adult-led learning, a CP enhancement or an end of term assessment.</p>
<p>Differentiated 3 ways to suit varying abilities within your class. At this point in the year it is hugely common to have some children writing initial sounds, some writing full CVC words and some using digraphs.</p>
<p>Full scheme of work covering all aspects of creative writing. Ideal in preparing students for GCSE English Language Paper 1, Section B.</p>
<p>Designed with the very latest developments in the 9-1 specification in mind, this is best suited to the AQA syllabus but would be equally useful for both KS3 prep and other exam boards.</p>
<p>Please see individual resources for more details. The lessons all work well as stand-alone, but if being used in sequence, the scheme runs as follows:</p>
<p>Lesson 1 - Vocabulary<br />
Lesson 2 - Sensory Description<br />
Lesson 3 - Devices and Techniques<br />
Lesson 4 - Narrative and Descriptive Openings<br />
Lesson 5 - Sentence Variation<br />
Lesson 6 - Characterisation<br />
Lesson 7 - Narrative Structure</p>
<p>Each lesson takes the form of a ‘masterclass’; each masterclass is packed with a range of activities that will enable your students to truly embed and master each aspect of creative writing. Each ‘lesson’ is probably going to take in excess of 2 hours to get through - you may wish to ‘pick and choose’ activities, or take your time with each skill area and cover them in depth.</p>
<p>Great value bundle, save yourself over 60% compared to buying these resources separately.</p>

<p><strong>Bubble writing - cursive handwriting scaffold</strong></p>
<p>Like many primary school teachers I have tried a variety of handwriting schemes with varying degrees of success. Having thought through many common problems with handwriting I have developed a simple scaffold that places a bubble either side of the line to support letter formation. This simple scaffold provides a guide to consistently form cursive letters and ensure each letter is uniform in both height and width. Children are able to leave equal spaces between words and see clearly whether or not there is enough space at the end of each line for the next word they intend to write. There has been a huge impact within my class in a very short space of time and I hope you will see similar benefits within your own setting.</p>
<p>Included is a PowerPoint presentation including words from the Year 1/2 spelling list that can be printed as a handwriting pack for children to work through. Blank slides enable you to add words to suit your needs and finally 2 different sized PDF scaffolds that children can use to write on (If photocopied the bubbles will disappear to leave the writing that has been completed.)</p>

A Harry Potter themed creative writing lesson focusing upon creating an effective description of setting. Pupils begin by exploring several descriptions of famous locations on Diagon Alley which they use to gather examples of how the five senses are used. Following this, pupils are challenged to create their own description of their chosen location on Diagon Alley before completing a peer-assessment which helps to reduce teacher marking! All resources are included and provide examples of shops, higher level vocabulary and examples of language devices in action to offer additional assistance and guidance.
<p>This lesson has been designed for learners studying KS4 or KS3 English. The lesson looks at improving creative writing skills while using the film Home Alone as a stimulus. The lesson uses a range of different scenarios to help learners craft their own creative response. An online dice or spinner would be helpful when helping learners pick each task.</p>
