Well led and informative. A chance to think and do! Lots to think about and try. I ended up with a planned unit of work.
This has given me a clearer focus for my lessons and made me re-evaluate current practice. Always so much information and lots of prompts to question our current practice.
Great step-by-step guide on a narrative unit with great grammar and reading advice included.
