The Minpins Planning Sequence Year 2

This is a three week planning sequence (year 2) for The Minpins by Roald Dahl following the planning from The Literacy Tree. The children begin by engaging in the themes of the story by talking about danger and what they are allowed and not allowed to do, imagining gruesome consequences if they don’t follow instructions! The children will explore The Minpins and create character descriptions (for their own monsters and The Minpins themselves), retellings of key events, reports about The Minpins and eventually writing a new chapter. Lots of grammar skills covered within the sequence such as writing commands, noun phrases, suffixes, verbs, tense, possessive apostrophes and conjunctions. Detailed Smart Notebook slides for all lessons and resources are also included for each lesson. It is advisable to have the planning from the Literacy Tree.
