This unit of work was designed by two teachers, one a writing moderator and literacy lead, still practising in year 6. Collaborative learning is a key aspect to building the foundations of our work so there are opportunities for mixed ability seating whether you set or not.

This unit of work is to designed to push writers towards the expected standard and beyond whilst using Harry Potter and the Philosophers’ Stone. The unit is of a formal writing focus in the form of a formal letter which should give the child an opportunity to describe and detail the discovery of a new creature or beast in the Forbidden Forest.

Children are given the opportunity to use a range of elements from the Teacher Assessment Framework. In this piece there is the opportunity to showcase almost all the elements: a range of cohesive devices, opportunities for higher-level punctuation, the use of first person, distinguishing between tone, a switch in formality, a switch in genre and the opportunity to maintain formality.

There are separate activities which focus on pushing greater depth further with implementation of their reading, switching genres and showing control of formal tone.

The unit provides a model which can be annotated and amended to suit all abilities. As well as the model, we have created a background which you can write on to add a bit of wow to your writing.

Overall this unit gives the user ample opportunities to refine skills, assess writing (self, peer or teacher), draft, edit and up level writing and use technology to perform their writing.
