Lesson 1 To practise writing speech In this lesson, we will explore rules for writing speech first and write our own sentences linked to the part of the poem where the highwayman sees Bess.

Lesson 2 To plan the build-up (Part 2) In this lesson, we will recap the important parts of the second part of the build-up before planning precise vocabulary and practising sentences out loud.

Lesson 3 To write the build-up (Part 2) In this lesson, we will use our plans and all the vocabulary and knowledge we've built up in previous lessons to write the second part of the build-up of The Highwayman.

Lesson 4 To write the rest of The Highwayman (Free Write) In the final writing lesson of the unit, we will practise some of the grammatical skills we've learnt throughout the unit, before thinking about our ideas for what might happen next in the story. We will have the opportunity to 'free write' the ending to the story.

Lesson 5 To develop reading for pleasure through book recommendations In this lesson, we will develop reading for pleasure through book recommendations. We will focus on poetry, picture books and non-fiction. Pupils will then generate their own recommendations to share with others.
