Outstanding Shakespeare literacy lesson (used for Year 6) - write a prologue for A Midsummer Night's Dream

This Year 6 literacy lesson was awarded the grade of Outstanding by my headteacher and a headteacher from another school who was also observing (and then sent her literacy co-ordinator to watch me later that week as she was so impressed by it!)

The lesson is for children studying Shakespeare (ideally A Midsummer Night's Dream) and moves from introducing the concept of a prologue to the children writing their own prologue based on a detailed model, which includes precise instructions for the teacher to do a modelled write.

It is differentiated three ways, with the lowest ability children using a writing frame. The plan includes a range of question types to ask the class at various intervals and a peer-assessment plenary.
