Included in the resource is:
Lesson PowerPoints
Activity resources
Fronted adverbial word bank
Word bank linked to storms
Drafting sheet adapted from Single Paragraph Outline
Example texts
Starter activities for the first five lessons with answers included
A writing skills booklet that links to storms that can be used separately elsewhere to support writing in the unit
Notes for the planning and the aims of the lesson
With drafting and redrafting, as well as then publishing a final piece, there should be enough lessons for between 8 and 10 lessons. The first few lessons work on developing ideas and sentence construction ahead of the writing process with a lesson on developing vocabulary ideas, unpicking example texts, working on fronted adverbials and redrafting sentences forming the first four lessons. Where activities are used, these sentences also link purposefully to writing about storms to develop understanding further.
This then leads into drafting and redrafting, including teacher modelling and providing feedback based on how pupils write, with the previous activities and word banks still being available to support during the writing process.
Due to copyright, you will need to source an image to base the writing on - this needs to be a picture of a lightning storm and would preferably be set over a water scene - this is however reflected in the price and all resources uploaded are in PowerPoint format so they can be edited as required, including the lesson PowerPoints that include notes for teaching and where to add your own image
A fully planned and resourced writing unit working on creating a set of instructions for mummification.
Included in the resource is:
Lesson PowerPoints
Lesson activities including a sequencing task and a editing task
Fronted adverbials and imperative verbs word mat
Instructions knowledge organiser
Model text
With drafting and redrafting, as well as then publishing a final piece, there should be enough lessons for between 6 and 8 lessons. The ‘lessons’ as they appear on the PowerPoint may take more than one ‘lesson’ and form sequences of learning. The first step is looking at the features of instructions, including a focus on the knowledge organiser before then identifying these in the model text.
The second sequence then moves on to being able to sequence the steps of mummification when given a set of instructions that can then be improved as part of a challenge. This moves on to then taking a simple set of instructions and improving them, with teacher modelling and guided practice before completing the activity.
This then leads into drafting and redrafting, including teacher modelling and providing feedback based on how pupils write, with the previous activities and word banks still being available to support during the writing process.
