Teaching From Text is so excited to share with you **WEEK 1 **of our twelve-week scheme of work for Years 5 and 6 (aged 9-11) based around Katherine Rundell’s amazing book ‘The Explorer’. The complete English scheme of work contains 60 x 1 hour lesson plans and ALL the resources you will need! Your children will be gently paced through the book whilst they get to know the characters through a range of reading, grammar and writing activities. The children will complete four pieces of extended writing: a non-chronological report, a biography, narrative poetry and then you will have the choice of the final piece - either persuasive writing or an adventure narrative! You can enjoy a stress free adventure as we provide you with everything you will need: lesson plans, differentiated activities, example texts, teaching videos, whiteboard slides, posters for your Working Wall and gorgeous hand-drawn images! So let the adventure begin… The whole scheme can be downloaded from Teaching From Text’s website.
