The Highwayman - Narrative writing

In this lesson, we will learn about who highwaymen were. We do so in order to help us understand the context of the poem. We will also read aloud the first verse.

In this lesson, we will learn about the prefixes 'il', 'im', 'in', 'ir' meaning 'not' and learn about the prefix contained in the word 'prefix'.

In this lesson, we will explore using apostrophes for both possession and contraction. Additionally, we will practise writing some sentences, linked to our Highwayman unit, using apostrophes.

In this lesson, we will explore vocabulary in the opening verse of the poem and practise writing complex sentences using this vocabulary.

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

In this lesson, we will generate our own vocabulary to describe the setting of the poem and the main character. We will use some of these words to practise writing our own sentences using fronted adverbials.

In this lesson, we will learn how to spell words containing the prefixes 'il', 'im', 'in' and 'ir' meaning 'not'

In this lesson, we will investigate and practise writing complex sentences using 'adverbial clauses' based on all the Highwayman learning we've done so far.

In this lesson, we will use all the vocabulary planning we've done so far to help us plan a 'zoom in' narrative opening of the story.

In this lesson, we will use our plans to help us write the opening of The Highwayman as a narrative.

In this lesson, we will explore vocabulary in the third verse of the poem and use it to help us think about what happens next in the story. We will practise using some of this vocabulary in oral and written sentences.

In this lesson, we will investigate and generate rules about the prefixes bi-, trans-, circum- and tele-.

In this lesson, we will build on our learning from Lesson 3 of the first outcome in this unit. We will explore how to use apostrophes for plural possession and we will investigate how and why we can use apostrophes for contraction. We will support and cement our learning through games and by writing example sentences.

In this lesson, we will re-read verse 3 of The Highwayman and explore ways to generate plenty of vocabulary to use when we write the build-up as a narrative.

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

In this lesson, we will order the events of the first part of the build-up and use the vocabulary we learnt in previous lessons to generate a plan, ready for writing.

In this lesson, we will learn how to spell words containing the prefixes bi-, trans-, circum- and tele-

In this lesson, we will use our plans and all the vocabulary and knowledge we have built up in previous lessons to write the first part of the build-up of The Highwayman.

In this lesson, we will find out what happens in the next two verses of the poem and explore the language that is used. We will practise writing sentences using the vocabulary we have learnt.

In this lesson, we will read verses 4 and 5 again and generate vocabulary for each moment in these verses, ready to help us plan our writing.
