Teacher made
I’ve included some starters/worksheets
The lessons cover creative writing, guided reading, infereence, retrieval, drama, debating and lots more,
I actually taught this unit so I have tried and tested these lessons. The book is long so it doesn’t cover every sentence in great details but you will definitely have enough material to work with.
