Myths and Legends, 11 weeks of fully planned and resourced lessons

I always seem to get the best writing from my class when there are strange creatures and beasts involved. If you do too, I think you’ll love these plans and resources.

Here are three of my favourite writing units. I have used them in Y4, Y5 and Y6.
There is 3 weeks of myth writing, inspired by the traditional story ‘The Asrai’ (a mysterious lake creature).
There is 3 weeks of legend writing, inspired by a short version of ‘Beowulf’.
There is 3 weeks of legend writing, `
1 week of performance poetry and book making inspired by ‘Theseus’.
There is 1 week of poetry writing, inspired by ‘The Kraken’.
