I’m going to add my planning and resources for this unit as I do them.

The Highwayman

Here’s the planning and resources I used when I taught The Highwayman to my Year 5 class.  I’ve added them as a (quite large) zip file because there are 13 files, including planning, Smart Notebook files, worksheets, the text of the poem and a short list of websites.  I also used a few resources from [...]

Mantle of the Expert

I’ve been meaning to try this approach for a while, but not yet plucked up the courage.  I’ve just found a great website though with lesson ideas and skills lists.

I will have a go over the summer at planning a series of lessons using this approach.

 This website links the new framework objectives with the unit plans:
