Poetry Imagery Planning Year 6 English Literature Imagery and Personification
Great planning for year 6.
Two weeks worth.
Nice powerpoints.
Sample :
Introduce the new unit and writing outcome.
Read the poem ‘Fog’ by Carl Sandberg together. Write ‘personification’ on the board and discuss what this means.
TTYP – what might it mean?
Agree on a definition for the working wall: Giving human traits to non-human or abstract things. Or making a non-human thing do things that only a human can do. Explain the phrase ‘inanimate object’.
Give out copies of ‘Two Sunflowers Move in a Yellow Room’ by William Blake. Discuss how the sunflowers are given human characteristics – they talk, they feel tired, they want a room with a view!
Return to the poem Fog. In this, it is almost as if Fog is alive – either human or possibly feline (cat-like).
Look again at ‘Two Sunflowers Move in a Yellow Room. ’Underline the words ‘topaz tortoises’.
Ask children what these last lines mean?
Discuss whether it matters if we are not sure of the exact meaning of all the words in a poem. Why might it not matter? Because it is the sound and the rhythm of the words which is as important as their meaning in a poem.
Look up topaz to find its meaning. Does this help us understand what the last two lines mean?

Sudoku is a popular and fun puzzle that can be used with math classes to reinforce logic and problem-solving skills. Each puzzle grid contains 81 cells, divided into 9 blocks made up of 9 cells. The grids are presented with only some cells filled with numbers. To solve the puzzle, each block must contain the numbers 1 through 9. In each block, each number can only appear once in a column, row or block. Then across all blocks, within the larger puzzle, each 9 cell column and 9 cell row can have a number appear just once.
Easy refers to the number of cells already filled in.

Persuasive Writing Lots of Planning Powerpoints Worksheets English
Happily retired, decided to put together my Persuasive writing planning from my various schools.
there’s a mass of stuff!
Save yourself a shedload of time and enjoy your Sundays!
Plenty of great powerpoints.
From different years but concentrating on years 3 to 6.
example planning :
Main teaching:
Explain that we are now looking at another text under the umbrella of persuasive texts.
Explain that we may sometimes need to write a letter to a person or organisation in order to put across our point of view and persuade them to take a course of action or come around to our point of view.
Revise what we need to include in a persuasive argument, explain that it is exactly the same in a letter but in a slightly different layout.
Read the example of a persuasive letter from page 17 of the L4 study guide.
Deconstruct and discuss. Elicit that the opening of the letter needs to be powerful and state the objective of the letter. Talk about the conclusion of the letter and how it also needs to be powerful.
Ensure that children understand the structure of a letter (addresses etc).
Activity 1
Bring children back together and draw up a list of good opening lines ‘I am writing to express my disgust’ etc.
Explain that, tomorrow, children will be writing their own persuasive letter.
Show them the title ‘TV adverts should be banned for junk foods’
Briefly discuss what is a ‘junk food’ and brainstorm reasons for not advertising them on TV.
Encourages obesity which leads to illnesses such as heart disease and diabetes.
Illnesses cost money (treatment on NHS) and days off work.
Junk food produces a lot of litter.
The packaging cannot be recycled.
If children have a bad diet their performance at school is affected. This adversely affects their education and future prospects.
