Back to School Autumn Planning Year 5 Literacy Myths
Loads of great planning :
Genre: Traditional stories, fables, myths, legends.
Focus Texts: Robin Hood (Legend), Hercules (Myth) and Pandora’s Box (Myth).
Objectives
Primary Framework 7. Understanding and interpreting texts
Compare different types of narrative and information texts and identify how they are structured
Explore how writers use language for comic & dramatic effects
8. Engaging with and responding to texts
Compare the usefulness of techniques such as visualisation, prediction and empathy in exploring the meaning of texts
11. Sentence structure and punctuation
Punctuate sentences accurately, including using speech marks and apostrophe
Learning/Writing outcome for unit: Children can write a new version of a legend, identifying their audience and adapting their writing to suit this audience.
Children can reflect on their own performances.
Children can reflect critically on their own writing and edit and improve it.
Introduce the new unit and look at the writing outcome displayed on the working wall – explain that we have three weeks to achieve this.
Allow children two minutes to TTYP and talk about the new unit – do they have any ideas about myth, legends or fables?
Introduce the LO for today.
Work through the PowerPoint on the features of a myth.
