The Dangerous Alphabet

The Dangerous Alphabet is a children’s favourite in my class. It is a tale of adventure, piracy, danger, and heroism told in twenty-six alphabetical lines, although even the alphabet is not to be relied upon here. A delightfully dangerous journey of two MCs.

Within this 14 day unit your class will:

1. revise speech , brackets for parenthesis, commas in a list, co-ordinating and subordinating conjunctions, verb forms and how to edit and improve a piece of writing.
2. they will plan and write their own alphabetical narrative, a narrative poem and a setting description (all of which can then be used to assess against age related expectations).

The unit includes:

1. A planning overview - sequenced to the way I teach it, but can easily be amended to suit the needs of your own class.
2. Worksheets used for each lesson provided and broken down into SPAG and English. Some differentiated.
3. A previously guided example to model what I aim to achieve with the narrative.

Please note: our school font is ‘Sasson Primary’, therefore when you download you may need to adjust layout to accommodate your schools font. I wanted to provide editable versions so cannot avoid this.
