About this unit:

This is a fifteen-lesson unit of English work based on persuasive writing. It is intended for Lower Key Stage 2. This unit follows the 2014 National Curriculum objectives which are outlined below. The English objectives covered by this unit are highlighted in yellow.

The fifteen lessons in this unit allow children to explore, discuss and understand persuasive writing. During the first week children will prepare and participate in a debate: ‘Should Animals be Kept in Zoos?’

In the second week, children will discuss, plan and write a piece of persuasive writing based on the persuasive writing text: ‘Should Animals be Kept in Zoos?’ Through guided and shared activities children will write their own version of this text ensuring they have included the correct language and organisational features appropriate to a piece of persuasive writing.

In the third week, children will write another persuasive writing text based on whether humans should eat meat. Children will then apply what they have learned in the second week to plan, write and edit a piece of persuasive writing based on whether humans should eat meat and children will write their persuasive writing independently. To end the unit children will participate in another debate: ‘Should Humans Eat Meat?’
