English writing unit based on an Egyptian myth - Isis and Osiris. I found it very hard to find any Egyptian myths to teach from so wrote my own version from texts I have previously read. The resource includes the unit planning, a PowerPoint with learning objectives, supporting slides and starter slides and supporting resources for some of the sessions. The main part of the unit is getting to know the myth really well in order for the children to write their own myth in a similar style, using the same myth structure. We use story mapping and story stepping to help the children memorise the myth - the children were able to do this within a week using their own words and actions. It is class specific so the resources are not included for story mapping and stepping - it is child led learning. I hope you enjoy the unit. Please leave a review if you did.
