myth writing, traditional story, warning story, 'The Asrai', 3 week English unit with resources

This is a 3 week English unit on myth writing. If you buy this, just use the zip folder - the other resources are just there to preview. I have used this myth many times and developed it each time. It always gets fantastic writing from children, regardless of their attainment. The model text follows the pattern of a ‘warning story’, and it is flexible enough allow young writers to create their own unique myths.

I have adapted it for use in Y4, 5 and 6. I am sure it would work in other year groups too.

Within the zip you will find:
detailed and creative planning to a high standard;
a very short version of the traditional story the Asrai, to be used as a model text;
a tool kit (or set of success criteria);
planning sheets (differentiated);
peer assessment sheets (differentiated);
some of my dice grammar games that can be used during the unit;
writing prompts;
comprehension questions.

I am sure you could quickly adapt this for use in your own class - it is ready to be used!

I hope your class enjoy writing some incredible myths, using the simple pattern of ‘The Asrai’.
