Aladdin - Narrative Writing

In this lesson, we will be introduced to the story of Aladdin. We will watch a clip from the opening of the Disney film, think about what the opening of a story should do and then retell it. We will begin to generate vocabulary and practise writing sentences with our new vocabulary.

In this lesson, we will investigate and generate rules about the prefixes un-, dis-, mis- and non-.

In this grammar lesson, we will revise the different sentence types: simple, compound and complex. We will practise coordinating and subordinating conjunctions and play a sentence building game to check what we know.

In this lesson, we will watch the opening clip from Aladdin and analyse it using our senses. We will use our new vocabulary to write strong sentences. Keep these notes to help with writing the opening.

In this lesson, we will introduce new vocabulary, identify word pairs and synonyms and apply the vocabulary in sentences.

In this lesson, we will analyse the opening of the Aladdin clip. We will look at the camera shots used and think about how to recreate this in our writing. We will generate powerful vocabulary and practise putting it into sentences that we can use when we write our opening.

In this lesson, we learn how to spell words which include the prefixes un-, dis-, mis- and non-.

In this lesson, we will prepare and write our opening. We will revise what we need and look at notes made in earlier lessons. Then, we will do some writing together and check that it has all that it needs for the opening.

In this lesson, we will be introduced to speech punctuation. We will look at the punctuation needed and how it should be laid out. We will have a go at punctuating speech from the Aladdin clip.

In this lesson, we will write a section of dialogue (speech) from the opening of Aladdin. First, we will revise speech punctuation and have a go at writing it together. Then, we will have a go independently.

In this lesson, we will think about what the build-up in a story needs to do. We will watch a section of the opening of Aladdin and analyse it as a build-up. We will then look at the action and reactions of the characters and use this to create powerful sentences for our build-up writing.

In this lesson, we will investigate and generate rules about the prefixes de-, re-, sub- and super-.

In this lesson, we will look at the two types of apostrophes and when they are used. We will then focus on apostrophes for contraction and practise where to use them for different word combinations.

In this lesson, we will prepare and write our build-up based on the clip of Aladdin. We will revise what we need for a build-up and look at notes made in earlier lessons. Next, we will have a go at writing it together, editing it and improving it. Then, we will have a go ourselves.

In this lesson, we will introduce new vocabulary, identify word pairs and synonyms and apply the vocabulary in sentences.

In this lesson, we will watch a section of the opening of Aladdin and analyse it as a climax. We will look at the action and reactions of the characters and use this to generate vocabulary to write powerful sentences for our climax writing.

In this lesson, we will learn how to spell words which include the prefixes de-, re-, sub- and super-.

In this lesson, we will prepare and write our climax based on the clip of Aladdin. First, we will revise what we need for a climax and look at notes made in earlier lessons. Next, we will have a go at writing it together, editing it and improving it.

In this lesson, we will learn about why editing is important and practise editing. The children will then edit their climax writing from the previous lesson.

In this lesson, we will recap the writing we have done from the entire Aladdin unit. We will think about how we have created feelings for the reader.
