Two weeks of planning on the first part of the book and then a few chapters in. Perfect if you are doing a reading unit looking at different extracts like we did. Links perfectly to any unit on Africa. – I have included the three other weeks we used. The front cover of each book is on the slides - hopefully you will be able to make use of these ; if not - who doesn’t love a freebie! We also completed a writing unit alongside this whereby we wrote a letter as if we were Naledi writing to Mma. Worked really well. I hope this helps. All money raised from these resources is used to buy more books for my year 6 class. Thanks for reading.

Comparative report writing Comparing WW2 to the African Slave Trade. Both of these units were taught in history, so our writing was formed from previous knowledge. Prior knowledge of these events is needed to access these lessons. I have included the grammar hammer work we do before each lesson. Also attached is the sorting task I gave the children to do. I gave no instructions for this and just asked them to sort them in a way that they felt made sense. We then discussed as a class - it definitely sparked conversation of similarities and differences.

6 week unit based on the book Once by Morris Gleitzman Variation of tasks from retrieval, prediction, inference (type 1 and 2), analysis of text to facts and opinions. All tasks appear on the slides along with what pages to read etc. first few days are based on non-fiction to break the unit up and give a slight insight to other information related to the unit.
