Five revision sessions using Prisoner of Azkaban & Order of the Phoenix.

Use extracts from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Explore persuasive writing: advertisements for Wizard Wheezes; excuses for Fred/George; letters of persuasion for Buckbeak’s innocence. Revise: active/passive voice; adverbs of possibility, subordinate clauses.

Includes:

  • teaching plan for 5 sessions
  • teaching resources and answers
  • SPAG revision presentation
  • 5-minute SPAG revision presentation

Session 1 - Recap persuasive writing features; revise adverbs of possibility, identifying the verb/clause being modified and punctuating accurately. Discuss tricks invented by Fred/George; list them, adding extras thought up by children. Design adverts for these. Spelling homework: words with ‘silent’ letters.

Session 2 - Explain Hogwarts has a fine history of troublemakers, including Fred and George. Revise active and passive voice using slide presentation, concentrating on identifying the voice of a sentence and changing it. Make links to how voice can be selected to write persuasively, manipulating the emphasis of a sentence.

Session 3 - Read the extract where Hagrid teaches his first lesson ending in Malfoy injured. Discuss how subordinate clauses are used to add information about time, cause or place. Ask children to identify, add, punctuate and write subordinate clauses. Write a short recount, using subordinate clauses.

Session 4 - Introduce today’s texts which follow what happens after Malfoy is attacked by Buckbeak. Give tips for understanding it and make links to informal language of dialogue. Children discuss and read texts, making inferences and explaining the meaning of words in context. They answer test-style questions.

Session 5 - Today children write a persuasive text, saying why Buckbeak should be spared. Rehearse persuasive features and include grammar focuses: adverbs of possibility to present opinions as fact or strengthen assertions, passive language to remove the agent and the blame, subordinate clauses to add reasons.

SPAG Revision
Children revise adverbs for possibility, and the active and passive voices. They identify subordinate clauses and study the grammatical features of persuasive writing.

This unit is part of a larger block of Harry Potter themed revision plans that cover all of the required revision for the Year 6 English SATs, including the SPAG.
