The Nowhere Emporium, Year 5 English Unit

An English unit based on the book The Nowhere Emporium with the end result being a setting description. This download contains the full 15 lesson plan, all of the differentiated resources and the flipcharts (active inspire) that were used each lesson.

This 3 week unit immerses the children within setting description and provides opportunity for the class to create their own book of wonders.

This unit primarily focuses on:

• the features of a setting description
• describing the 5 senses
• expanded noun phrases
• fronted prepositional phrases
• effective vocabulary

This unit was planned for a very mixed ability year group, ranging from year 2 ability through to GDS year 5. The resources have been differentiated with that in mind, but can be tweaked easily to fit your class.

I also created a vocabulary book for this text which you can also find on my page.
