Includes:
- teaching plan for 5 sessions
- teaching resources and answers
- SPAG revision presentation
- 5-minute SPAG revision presentation
Session 1 - Children discuss the challenges faced on entry to Hogwarts School. They Identify and punctuate different sentence forms, then write using these. They also practise changing the form to a different one. Spelling homework: words with endings –ant, –ance/–ancy, –ent, –ence/–ency.
Session 2 - Children listen to an exciting extract and identify the informal nature of dialogue. They revise the use of apostrophes and practise using both types (contraction and possession) and editing sentences for accurate punctuation.
Session 3 - Children read from Chapter 9 where arguments happen, looking for different sentence forms. How are these used in an argument? Discuss other features that make the dialogue sound authentic. They role play and perform a further scene.
Session 4 - Together identify how Rowling describes the feast, builds tension and tells the reader lots about the characters through what they say and do. Children make inferences, explain the meaning of words in context and answer test-style comprehension questions, giving evidence to justify opinions.
Session 5 - Together, watch a film clip and identify instruction language features. Children write for a specified purpose and audience, creating instructions for defeating a troll or winning a duel. They apply their grammar learning in a composition.
