PPT that follows the sentence stacking sequence for 'The Write Stuff’s year 3 unit. I have put the powerpoint together with a mixed year 3/4 class in mind. I have also included a boxing up grid which I used to aid their planning process for the independent write, and an additional powerpoint for two additional lessons to help develop the ending of the story. We talked a lot about the effect on the reader.
Top tips from my teaching experience of this unit:
I began with a lesson looking at different openings using a variety of picture books, we talked about how the openings worked to draw the reader in and used what we knew from the book Journey to write an effective opening.
I taught a lesson before the start of the sequence giving them the picture of the girl talking to family members and they wrote/drew speech bubbles for the scenes which we then used for SS1 and talked about using different verbs for ‘said’ - this gave them a clearer idea of where the inverted commas needed to go.
All pictures included in the powerpoint come from the original text ‘Journey’ by Aaron Becker

A colourful presentation (18 slides) on the concept of the Hero’s Journey discussed in detail over twelve stages. The Hero’s Journey, also known as the monomyth, is a common narrative template found in many stories worldwide where a hero embarks on an adventure, faces a crisis, and returns transformed.
The Ordinary World: The hero’s mundane, everyday life is depicted, often revealing him as an outcast or someone with a unique trait.
The Call to Adventure: The hero is spurred into action by a discovery, event, problem, or danger, leading them from their ordinary world into a new one.
Accepting the Call: The hero is given a task that only they can complete. They must decide to embark on this quest, eventually accepting the call.
The Mentor & the Talisman: The hero encounters a mentor who provides them with a special object, skill, or advice that aids them in their journey.
Crossing the Threshold: The hero enters a new, unfamiliar world with its own rules and challenges.
Tests, Allies & Enemies: The hero faces obstacles and challenges, meets allies, and confronts enemies, which strengthens and prepares them for their main ordeal.
The Approach: This is the preparation stage for the final battle or supreme ordeal.
The Supreme Ordeal: The hero faces their biggest challenge, often losing something significant but emerging victorious.
The Reward: The hero receives a reward for their bravery and endurance, which could be treasure, love, respect, or admiration.
The Road Back: The hero decides to return to their ordinary world, still facing some remaining obstacles.
Growth or Atonement: The hero, now wiser and stronger, uses their new skills to confront the ultimate power in their life.
The Return: The hero returns to their ordinary world, transformed and often with a special object or ability that allows them to fit in better with society.
The audience is encouraged to apply this knowledge to identify these stages in various stories, both written and visual.
