scheme of work that supports pupils in their understanding of engaging texts and how to create their own developed texts for a specific audience

An extensive Powerpoint on story writing including information on fractured fairytales, story openings and vocabulary. Suitable for KS2, or Y7.

Read and compare Hansel and Gretel by Anthony Browne, and Baba Yaga and the Stolen Baby by Alison Lurie, Francis Lincoln, and Baba Yaga by Tony Bradman using drama and story maps. Discuss joining sentences using or, and or but. Children write witch stories using story pegs to plan. Introduce some 'story language' and encourage interesting endings. Hamilton Group Reader, Why Not Me?, is used to build confidence in reading aloud.

Students delve into the conventions of fairy stories, considering their structure and language. Having established the stylistic techniques, and engaged in short-burst writing activities in the 'traditional style', they then look at different adaptations of the tales before rewriting them from different viewpoints - like the witch's viewpoint in 'Hansel and Gretel', and the wolf's viewpoint in 'The Three Little Pigs'. They then have fun reading 'politically correct' fairy tales, and after oral rehearsal, pair work, group work and drama activities, write their own 'politically correct' stories. Two assessment tasks, a peer assessment activity and a homework VLE unit complete the package. Contents: (6-8 lesson scheme of work, full resources and lesson plans) Classroom presentations VLE Homework presentation 9 page workbook Peer assessment resource Full lesson plans Note: All images are free to use commercially.

Word documents, PPTs, card sort and an example fairytale on Microsoft Publisher (pretty much obsolete I know). The unit teaches the conventions of fairy tales and satirical techniques - it is aimed for lower ability students.

Developed as a response to PIe Corbetts 'Talk for Writing' and the encouragement that children should leave their year group having been exposed to a variety of quality writers, genres and with a bank of stories in their head that they can draw from. Teachers sometimes choose to use a text in their literacy teaching, it may be stimulus for other subjects or just a class read, but we are encouraging that they read the books on their list throughout the year. The list was developed with the teachers and teaching assistants contributions and discussed with staff.

Exciting lessons are built around this power point which has a link to fractured fairy tales on youtube. There is a list of popular fairy tales that makes an excellent pre-assessment of what tales the pupils are already familiar with. There is also a planning worksheet for the pupils and a display banner for the classroom.

Explore persuasive texts and writing through Anthony Browne’s book Zoo. Research the case for and against zoos and design a questionnaire. Explore other issues about looking after animals through Michael Morpurgo’s The Dancing Bear. Debate the issues raised. Find other lesson plans and resources at www.hamilton-trust.org.uk.
