Year 3 English Unit of Work based around the story ‘The Egyptian Cinderella’ by Shirley Climo. English planning objectives link to the Year 3 National Curriculum for Reading, Speaking and Listening, Grammar and Writing. This unit comes downloadable with lesson plans, worksheets, presentations and display posters.

**Unit Overview: **

This unit will begin with an exciting ‘hook’! A red-rose slipper will be delivered to class! A special note will explain all. During shared reading sessions the class will be taught how to make simple predictions. They will select words and phrases that add more interest (such as similes and expanded noun phrases) and use examples of these to write their own character descriptions that describe appearance. They will explore new vocabulary and find ways to clarify the meaning. The children will participate in discussions about the similarities and differences between The Egyptian Cinderella and the original Cinderella Story. Next, they will explore some grammar features of the story, including expanded noun phrases, prepositional phrases and inverted commas to indicated direct speech. They will have some practice writing a short setting description. Finally, the class will create a ‘Success Criteria’ for planning and writing an alternative ending to the story. One where Rhodopis does in fact travel to Memphis and meet the Pharaoh.
