Lesson 2: Describing approaching the door (rising action / building tension) Lesson 3: The other side of the door (climax) Lesson 4 (optional): Neat write up of their 3 part description of the door ‘for display’ The lessons indicate that the writing should IMPLY, not state (i.e. my take on ‘show, don’t tell’), whereby certain rules are included such as 'you cannot use the word ‘door’. Lessons include examples / models; scaffolding and success criteria; peer assessment tasks.

I initially designed this scheme (of up to eight lessons) for a very low ability group of students who were, as reluctant writers, worried about their writing assessment. The assessment is placed across the first few slides, but you could skip it. It is heavily scaffolded, with accompanying planning and assessment sheet fir the assessment and some worksheets. The scheme then teaches punctuation and grammar, with starters assessing current learning and short writing activities designed to demonstrate progress. After students have mastered this, they move on to exploring how to use simile and metaphor. You will need a DVD copy of War of the Worlds and Hunger Games for the first few lessons.

A Harry Potter themed creative writing lesson focusing upon creating an effective description of setting. Pupils begin by exploring several descriptions of famous locations on Diagon Alley which they use to gather examples of how the five senses are used. Following this, pupils are challenged to create their own description of their chosen location on Diagon Alley before completing a peer-assessment which helps to reduce teacher marking! All resources are included and provide examples of shops, higher level vocabulary and examples of language devices in action to offer additional assistance and guidance.

10 visual prompts for narrative/story writing. Great for a one-off lesson or cover work. (KS2/KS3/KS4)

A PowerPoint designed to challenge pupils and get them thinking creatively! Based on another ppt from TES that I have used and my classes love. There are four categories - 10 Minute Stories; Whose is it?; Location, location, location; Word Limit. Pupils choose a category and then a number from 1-9 as their inspiration. There are given time limits or word limits and instructions on each slide. Each slide has clickable content so good to use on IWB or just as a normal ppt.
