The Units The Units (p1 - 7)(p1 - 7)
Each Year Group has a selection of units covering:
• Narrative;• Non-Narrative;• Poetry.• Closely related to 1998 units of work.• The units ensure that teaching and learning
takes place in meaningful contexts with a purposeful outcome.

• Flexibility of arranging units over the year to tie in with school curricular map;
• Revisiting of objectives;
• Weighted in favour of the school’s identified priority - (Writing, Reading, Boys)
• Suggested time scales for delivery.

Looking at a Unit of Work Looking at a Unit of Work
• Activity - Sketch Plan -Look at the list of suggested techniques for learning and teaching (Page 8)
• Look through the Unit - Year 3 Narrative Adventure and Mystery - (Pages 9 - 12)
• Annotate the planning circles (Page 13) with appropriate techniques for each phase. (there may be some repetition of techniques at different phases).

Process of planning on chosen formatProcess of planning on chosen format
Refer to Step by Step Guide to Planning - (Page 14) and the example unit of work.
• Identify the main theme of the unit and associated objectives;
• Decide upon the form of the unit outcome;• Decide upon the learning outcome/s (‘child
speak’) for each phase;• Using your chosen planning format, map the key
objectives against the three main teaching phases.
Process of Planning continuedProcess of Planning continued
• Add initial thoughts on content for each phase;
• Consider a range of teaching strategies and approaches; (as annotated on the sketch plan)
• Assessment opportunities; • Incorporate use of speaking, listening,
drama, ICT and cross-curricular links.
Unpicking ObjectivesUnpicking Objectives• The objectives are very broad and are end-of-
year expectations;
• It is important to be aware of the layers within each objective;
• The big objectives cannot be achieved in one lesson;
• A lesson/learning objective should be achievable within a short time-scale;
• Children should learn something in every lesson.
Unpicking ObjectivesUnpicking Objectives• The outcome of this unit is - Write an adventure
story that has: a problem and resolution; paragraphs and/or chapters with connectives to signal time, sequence or place; description of typical setting and characters; written dialogue . . .
• Activity - unpick ‘Compose sentences using adjectives, verbs and nouns for precision, clarity and impact’ into steps.
• Progression papers
Independent ActivitiesIndependent Activities Differentiate the main learning objective;
• Don’t try to plan too many activities;• One core activity linked to the lesson objective taught; • Support for less able and extend for more able;• BA: Writing frames, word banks, TA, different outcome; • AA: Different outcome; autonomy; higher expectations
in skills.
Guided Sessions: These should reflect the learning needs of the children more than the theme of the unit.
Mixed age planning Mixed age planning • Select the unit from one of the year groups;• Use the strand objectives from across the year
groups to meet the needs of the pupils (particularly the sentence strand 11);
• Refer to the progression documents in the library on the Website/DVD – see example;
• Continue to use current planning and support with the suggested teaching sequences where appropriate.
• See example (Page 15-16)

Planning FormatPlanning Format• Should be flexible to allow responses to
learning to be accelerated, reinforced or re-focused;
• Show learning and learning outcomes rather than/as well as activities;
• Reflect the teaching phases;• Show lesson content not lesson structure. (?)• See example - Pages 17 - 20
