3 week writing unit inspired by Jeannie Baker's Mirror

I created this unit of work for our Year 6 study of the wordless picture book Mirror, as it was difficult to find resources to support the book.

This is a complete, three week unit of work which focusses on character, setting and writing for different purposes. The unit culminates in writing and publishing two contrasting diary entries and creating books in the style of Mirror. All plans, resources and model writes have been included, so all you need is the book and a desire to produce some stunning work-my children produced some wonderful writing and artwork in response to the book.

This English unit complements the KS2 topic, Early Islamic Civilisation but it is also the perfect text to run alongside the study of stories from other cultures. Whilst I wrote this for Key Stage 2, the unit is also suitable for Year 7 and 8 and has cross-curricular links to Geography, History and Languages.
