A drama lesson based around Kensuke’s Kingdom by Micheal Morpurgo. My Year 5 class loved this lesson. The children are asked out 2 scenes from the story with the stimulus provided. I used this as part of a diary writing unit for character development so one of the stimulus is a diary entry and the other a video of sailing across the open ocean. Includes powerpoint and resources. Children are to devise/rough plan their scenes first before creating them. One of the planning sheets is more structured to support some children - although I have found using mixed ability groups works well. Children could also use the unstructured support sheet as some groups preferred to mind map, bullet point or write keywords down.

Lesson 6, 7 and 8 in the Setting Description writing unit. This sequence follows on from the Taj Mahal setting description as children will learning about a Norwegian Fjord and writing a setting description for this independently. This fitted well with the Year 4 topic, Around the World. The Norwegian Fjord aspect of this unit was added on so that children could complete and independent write. Lesson 6: To be able to describe a Norwegian Fjord. Children are introduced to the fjord and the setting and then describing each part of the fjord (e.g. villages, water, houses, mountains) and using a thesaurus to find synonyms. Lesson 7: Gathering vocabulary for an independent write. Children recap the setting and then as a class, then pairs and finally individually, they will create a word bank of similes/adjectives/prepositions to use in their independent writing. I filled in the 10th slide on this as the class gave me their ideas. Lesson 8: I used this as the time for children to complete their writing. There are little resources for this apart from a simple header page and recap presentation with success criteria. Children use their word banks to help them. All lessons are differentiated 3 ways and include the editable docx/pptx worksheets and presentations, so that you can easily adapt it to suit your needs.
