This is a ten-lesson unit of work based around the book Stone Age Boy by Satoshi Kitamura. It is intended for lower Key Stage Two and follows objectives based on the 2014 National Curriculum. Many schools choose to use this text alongside the ‘Stone Age to Iron Age’ history topic, although the plans are also designed to work as a standalone unit if required.

 

The ten lessons in this unit aim to give children the opportunity to read and listen to the Stone Age Boy story a number of times. In the first week, children will engage with the text through drama, discussion and debate in order to increase their familiarity with the structure of the story and they will have the opportunity to articulate ideas about the text using an increasingly varied vocabulary. There is also a grammar focus on using adverbials of time and place and a chance to develop thesaurus skills. In the second week, pupils will plan their own story based on the structure of Stone Age Boy and they will then have the opportunity to draft, edit and present their final narrative. 

 

 

The literacy objectives covered in this unit are:

 

• To ask and answer questions about a text

• To use a thesaurus to improve my writing

• To use adverbials of time and place

• To prepare a short drama piece based on a text

• To take part in a class debate

• To make a story plan

• To write my own narrative

• To edit my writing

• To make decisions about how to present my writing
