Jasper's Beanstalk_Year 1 English Writing Unit

This is a 3 week unit aimed at the beginning of Year 1 and is designed to start the year off with some simple sentence writing. Linked to Jane Considine’s The Write Stuff.

Based on Nick Butterworth’s story Jasper’s Beanstalk

This unit links beautifully with a growing topic, particularly planting and caring for seeds.

Other linked topics are patience, persistence and responsibility (PSHCE).

This unit covers:

• Sequencing
• Verbs
• Emotive adjectives
• Simple sentence writing
• Repetitive sentence structures

Included in the unit pack:

• Overview of the unit; including independent writing
• Plot Point pictures for display
• Tasks for the non-sentence writing days
• Picture sentences to promote writing independence
• Powerpoint editable worksheets

I have personally used this in my classroom for the past 2 years and plan on using it again this September.
