This unit of work was designed by two teachers, one a writing moderator and literacy lead, still practising in year 6. Collaborative learning is a key aspect to building the foundations of our work so there are opportunities for mixed ability seating whether you set or not. This unit of work is to designed to push writers towards the expected standard and beyond whilst using Harry Potter and the Philosophers’ Stone. The unit is of a narrative focus which should give the child an opportunity to describe Hogwarts in detail and add to that a lot of emotion of Harry’s journey to next seven years of his life. Children are given the opportunity to use a range of elements from the Teacher Assessment Framework. In this piece there is the opportunity to showcase almost all the elements: speech (using dialect for more advanced writers), a range of cohesive devices, opportunities for higher-level punctuation and a range of clause structures. The unit provides a model which can be annotated and amended to suit all abilities. As well as the model, we have created a background which you can write on to add a bit of wow to your writing. Overall this unit gives the user ample opportunities to refine skills, assess writing (self, peer or teacher), draft, edit and up level writing.
