I have planned the sequence of lessons as a slide show presentation, designed to guide the children through each stage of writing their story with clear structure and support. It includes: Recall activities to activate prior knowledge and reinforce key skills (e.g. grammar, vocabulary, techniques). Explicit teaching of the focus for that part of the story (beginning, build-up, problem, resolution, ending) with examples. Pink boxes on the slides, which contain sentence starters to scaffold pupils’ writing and help them begin their sentences confidently. Green boxes on the slides, which set out the activities for pupils to complete, making the expectations clear and easy to follow. The planning ensures a balance of teacher modelling, pupil discussion, independent writing, and opportunities to apply SPaG skills (e.g. conjunctions, relative clauses, show-not-tell, homophones) throughout the week. This can be used as a one off week to let the children showcase what they have learnt or use it as an assessment opportunity.

These slides are for a week (4 days) of letter formal letter writing. The lesson requires an email from the head asking for treat ideas for the children. The children then write these formal letters asking for something. This is the first time that we have written formal letters. Monday - features of a formal letter Tuesday - plan a formal letter (plan included-print the last slide) Wednesday - write their formal letter. Thursday - edit their formal letter. Generally, most days start with some recap as an activity for them to get on during transition time between lessons. There is also a plenary to tie the lesson up. There are a couple of notes on the page footnotes section. Enjoy.
