Writing unit based on making a set of instructions on training a dragon:
Lesson 4: Understanding complex sentences
Lesson 5: Using imperative verbs with adverbs
Lesson 6: Using time adverbials
Lesson 7: Writing an introduction using compound and complex sentences
Lesson 8: Writing the first part of the instructions
Phase 2 – Teaching Basic Commands
In the second phase of the plan, Teaching Basic Commands, pupils will develop their instructional writing skills by focusing on structure, clarity, and precision. The key focus areas include:
Time Adverbs at the Start: Pupils will learn to use time adverbs (e.g., First, Next, Then, Finally) to sequence instructions logically and guide the reader step by step.
Adverbs to Describe the Verb: Pupils will enhance their sentences by including descriptive adverbs (e.g., gently, clearly, patiently) to provide detail about how actions should be performed.
Building on Modal Verbs: Following Phase 1, pupils will continue to explore modal verbs (e.g., must, should, could, might) to express necessity, possibility, and advice, applying them effectively in context.
To support all learners:
Word Mats: A word mat will be provided with key vocabulary, including modal verbs, time adverbs, and topic-specific nouns (e.g., commands, gestures, treats), to inspire ideas and improve writing fluency.
Scaffolded Activities: Lower ability and SEN pupils will benefit from structured tasks, such as matching sentence starters to appropriate endings or filling in gaps with adverbs and modal verbs. Sentence-building templates will also be provided to help create full instructions step by step.
Model Examples: Teachers will provide dictated sentences and model how to construct instructions using the features of this phase.
This phase encourages creativity while emphasizing accuracy and structure, equipping pupils with the tools to write detailed, engaging instructions for training their dragon. The inclusion of scaffolds ensures that all pupils can succeed while building confidence in their writing abilities.
