Castles LKS2 - 10 Lesson Writing Sequence - (Colin Thompson)

This download includes all slides and resources for a 10 lesson writing sequence, inspired by the text Castles by Colin Thompson. It produced very successful writing outcomes for a Year 3 cohort but could be tailored for other year groups.

The writing sequence is built up of initial text exploration, where children produce short writing pieces related to the text. From Lesson 5 onwards, children explore the features of, plan, draft, revise/edit and publish an non-fiction page about an imaginary castle of their own.

The download includes:

Ready-to-go lesson slides (Both SMART Notebook & Microsoft PPT format) that are user friendly and take the teacher through the writing sequence step-by-step.
Clearly organised and user-friendly resources for 10 lessons including a starter for every lesson, activities, differentiated versions and word mats.
A book cover page to go into writing books
