Overview:
Once Upon a Click is a fully resourced, 10-lesson writing unit that brings traditional tales into the digital age. Centred around the cautionary picture book #Goldilocks: A Hashtag Cautionary Tale, pupils explore key online safety messages by comparing classic and modern stories, learning how digital behaviour has real-life consequences.
Children analyse voice and tone in online posts, learn how to write speech with impact, and plan their own cyber safety cautionary tales using familiar characters like Little Red Riding Hood or Jack and the Beanstalk. Each lesson includes detailed objectives, differentiated activities, model texts, grammar focuses, and plenary suggestions.
By the end of the unit, pupils will have created their own engaging and meaningful digital-age cautionary tale—highlighting the risks of oversharing, online challenges, and poor digital choices. This unit is ideal for promoting digital literacy, improving narrative writing, and embedding PSHE themes in your English curriculum.
