Session 2 - Revise cohesion between paragraphs exploring how adverbials for time, place and number can help to organise writing. Understand how paragraphs are used and write a recount. Use adverbials to create cohesion and consider how register is created.
Session 3 - Introduce a short film clip: ‘Harry Catches the Knight Bus’. Imagine Stan recounting to future passengers about when infamous Harry Potter was on board. Identify and sort sentences according to tense; choose the appropriate verb form.
Session 4 - Use Stan Shunpike’s informal way of speaking to revise formal and informal language with slide presentation. Compare to formal register of Daily Prophet. Play verbal games where children change the register to formal or informal. Explore the subjunctive mood and convert informal to formal language.
Session 5 - Introduce Dolores Umbridge - a great villain in the Harry Potter books. Study how she uses language and read further extracts. Discuss and justify opinions about these and rehearse answering questions without always recording their answers.
Session 6 - Compare narrative to recount; revise features of informal and formal writing and how this relates to audience and purpose. Children make notes and choose who they will write a report (recount) in the role of so that they have a specific register and viewpoint in mind.
