Following on from the previous lesson, students will craft their linguistic devices into their writing using a visual stimulus. This lesson covers an introduction to planning, but predominantly focuses on the use of linguistic devices and varied vocabulary (LP1, Q5 – A05 – Strand 3)

Building on and consolidating knowledge from the previous two lessons, the lesson today explores sensory imagery and how to apply it to descriptive writing. Through the use of soundscapes, students will write creatively and be encouraged to justify descriptions based on just the sense of sound. Students will then green pen reflect on their descriptive piece this week and develop the quality of sensory imagery to meet a purpose.

Students should consolidate their knowledge of the elements of language and structure developed over the course of the term. Throughout this lesson, students will complete a SLOW WRITING response to an image stimulus. With the support of the D.S.S.Z.L structure, students will craft their writing to meet the criteria of each paragraph. Ensure students are crafting and not rushing into their writing.

Students will complete a baseline assessment to demonstrate their current ability to write descriptively. This will inform planning for week three and establish the needs of the group. To support marking of this, please use the ‘Whole-Class Feedback’ sheet attached in the week one folder.

Lesson Eleven: Evaluating Successful Writing 1 of 2 To develop exposure to high-quality writing, students will explore three WAGOLLs to model different aspects of Science-Fiction. This lesson is designed to utilsie live-modelling, but can also be delivered as collaborative learning. Students annotate, summarise, and evaluate the quality of the three responses before collecting ideas for their own creative writing during a ‘magpie session’. Lesson Twelve: Evaluating Successful Writing 2 of 2 Continuing on from lesson eleven, students should continue to explore high-quality examples. This lesson is designed to allow exploration of other extracts based on the needs of the class, or to continue with the 3 selected in lesson eleven.

An engaging lesson which focuses on tackling trickier extracts and vocabulary. The strategies are fully researched and are designed to promote reading independence. The extract focus is a small section of Chapter 7 of Alice in Wonderland.

A three-lesson sequence exploring Alice in Wonderland and the ability to make inferences on character. The lesson explores annotation skills, reading strategies, inference skills, and crafting analytical responses.

Students will be exploring a range of linguistic devices and securing their understanding of their definitions, use and effect. This will then be applied to an example of creative writing called ‘This is War’. Students need to identify the features in the crafted example, allowing them to incorporate this into their own piece.

A lesson to explore the use of dialogue in Fantasy fiction to develop narrative. This is explored through an extract from Harry Potter and then through an extract from ‘Cursed Child’ to explore a different form.
