This is a comprehensive (91 slide) scheme of work, made for a high ability year 7 group, but that would work/could be adapted for different year groups or abilities at KS3. There are a range of tasks including: writing to persuade, writing to inform, writing to describe, building PEA/ what, how, why paragraphs, creating new languages, analysis of poems, links to context etc. My class have loved it - we began during lockdown and continued back in school. It has been a labour of love that I hope might come of use to someone else.
