10 lessons breaking down the sections of a narrative. Lessons could easily be spread out over longer lessons with more writing time given.

Romeo & Juliet, A Christmas Carol & Blood Brothers A bunch of scaffolded quotes I have used with my bottom set to help them revise quotes. We revisit each set of quotes each week, as they improve I will be moving on to the more difficult sets of quotes (more blanked out) Great as a retrieval task at the start of each lesson. Easy - one word blanked out Tricky - two words blanked out Hard - several words blanked out Very hard - all words blanked out but correct spaces (to help students see how many words it should be) Full retrieval - just one line, students to use characters and previous retrieval to remember.
