Year 6 English John Boyne writing unit

This Year 6 unit is based on the first three chapters of the John Boyne book ‘Stay Where You Are Then Leave’. It is designed to get the children to write setting descriptions from two character’s perspectives. The unit uses music, drama, video and sound to give the children a clearer experience of the time (WW1). It then moves onto producing apprentice sentences which can be used in their own writing. Finally, the children create story continuations where they describe their journeys through a part of WW1 london.
