Y6 Narrative Unit The Water Tower (Gary Crew) and Francis (Literacy Shed)

This unit provides a series of 13 progressive narrative lessons which focus on creating atmosphere through the use of appropriate word choice and characters reactions, building suspense and using dialogue to convey character.

The build up of lessons uses The Water Tower by Gary Crew as the focus and then children apply these skills to final story write based on Francis from the Literacy Shed.

Each lesson includes a detailed plan, resources for the children (where needed) and a teaching ppt complete with modelled examples of writing. There are also suggestions for SEN activities.
