Session 1 - Pre-teach phrases and clauses. Read extracts from Quidditch through the ages and identify the features of different text types (explanations, non-chronological reports, recounts…). Discuss the purpose of information texts. Homework: Discuss spelling rules for these suffixes and learn lists.
Session 2 - Revise adverbials, reminding children of the difference between phrases and clauses. Children watch a film clip, and identify the features of commentary. They then write an imagined commentary using adverbials. Act out a commentary and identify the function of adverbials.
Session 3 - Consider where and how information texts occur in Harry Potter where they don’t have the internet. Revise parentheses, and then identify and punctuate these. Children write a short report, including punctuated parenthetical information.
Session 4 - Children read extracts, looking for clues as to what the mirror shows. Discuss and ensure that they’ve noticed that Erised is desire backwards. Discuss what other characters might see and then predict what we would see if we looked in the mirror, Children pick one character and make notes to share.
Session 5 - Discuss the combination of fantasy and school genres. Which elements of this extract belong to which genre? Children analyse features, make inferences, explain the meaning of words in context and answer test-style comprehension questions, giving evidence to justify opinions.
Session 6 - Discuss information texts written by Rowling: Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Remind children of the features of this type of text. They then write information texts about magical items in Harry Potter books.
