The scheme covers the use of characterisation and relationships, with some moments of reflection on student’s own feelings and emotions. This resources includes; Scheme of work. Workbook (including reading for each lesson) PowerPoints for each of the 7 lessons. Resources I don’t include the assessment extracts in this as there is quite a sizeable amount of the script included. You can choose any part of the script that you think would work for this or alternatively, I have also allowed students to select their favourite extract from those studied in lessons to use as their final assessment - this worked really well.

A model diary entry from Harry’s perspective about the events in Chapter 3 of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, along with a task for identifying the features and an extension. This diary entry is stopped short (we pretended he was writing it on the floor of the hut at the end of the chapter) to represent the moment Hagrid knocks on the door. I used it to teach cohesion between diary entries, as the children then wrote the next entry, emulating the style but about the events of Chapter 4. However, if you wanted to use it just as a model, it would only need a few more words to complete it.
