Description

In this unit, pupils explore and discuss the text 'Swallow's Kiss'. They learn about verse novels as a type of narrative and discuss the key themes in the text. Finally, pupils will make connections and recommendations to enhance their reading experiences.

This unit uses and builds on the prior unit, 'Leaf', where pupils explored the theme of the environment. In this unit, pupils will develop their understanding of themes through engaging with an illustrated verse novel. They will engage with the key themes of empathy, hope and community and share take-away ideas and responses. Through rich discussions, pupils will explore the characters and make personal connections. This unit prepares pupils for 'Poetry about personal experiences', where they will read and respond to a range of poems about feelings, emotions and experiences.
