The Journey Home Year 2 Planning Sequence

This is a three-week planning sequence using the planning from the Literacy Tree website. This text explores issues of conservation and starts to explore whether we can escape the issues that endangered animals face on a day-to-day basis. Children create fact files on endangered animals as well as writing short persuasive pieces on why we need to save a particular endangered animal. Children will be able to identify how a sentence is formed by its grammatical structure as a question, a command, a statement or an exclamation. Children will be encouraged to edit work, being aware of tense and word choice. Word classes (nouns/verbs/adjectives) will be referred to throughout. Detailed, interactive Smart Notebook slides are provided and lesson resources where necessary. It is advisable to have the planning from Literacy Tree.
