A whole terms English unit including: learning journey, resources, models of excellence, powerpoints and scaffolds, based on the story of The Savage by David Almond. In particular, boys have really enjoyed this writing unit and have thrived with their writing. This unit of writing includes a character description, suspense writing, diary entry and a newspaper report.

During an apprentice write there is also a unit including the Literacy Shed video ‘Little Freak’ so that they can compare these characters. An extremely emotive video and used effectively.

Each week is structured with 1. features of writing 2. generating vocabulary 3. SPAG skills needed 4. apprentice writes 5. chance to independently embed these skills. The Savage is also available on PDF format online, so you don’t even need the book to start this writing unit off!

I hope you have as much fun with this unit as I did!
