Description

In this unit, pupils read and explore the narrative non-fiction text 'The Pebble in my Pocket'. They explore the vocabulary used in order to build comprehension around the text. Finally, pupils will sequence and summarise the main ideas of the story.

This unit uses and builds on the prior unit, 'Mulan', where pupils retrieved information and inferred meaning from a narrative. In this unit, pupils will become familiar with the features of a non-fiction narrative text and will continue to develop their skills of inference to uncover the deeper meaning of the story. Pupils will explore the vocabulary choices in the text and develop their understanding of how authors use language to enhance meaning. This unit prepares pupils for exploration of a historical narrative in the future unit, 'Escape from Pompeii'.
