Significant Authors unit: The Iron Man - Unit plan with resources
A unit of week - around 4 weeks long - based on the Iron Man: Significant Authors unit created by myself and my rather amazing year 4 colleague. The kids really enjoyed reading it, and their writing improved as a result of reading it. Many adopted the style of Ted Hughes without being asked!
I’ve added a few of the resources used on request - not all though I’m afraid as for most we used the actually book or old photocopied worksheets (we’re trying to use more handwriting in school!) I’ve not added the wanted poster, but its just a poster with a box saying wanted at the bottom.
This unit is suitable for KS2, KS3 and I’d think KS4 students too, with a few ammendments here and there. I loved this unit so much that I repeated it with a KS3 special needs literacy group in year 9. They loved it too!
