Starting Points: Rose Blanche
Starting Points are written to help you plan book-based units of work. In this set based on Rose Blanche by Ian McEwan Roberto Innocenti you’ll find ideas to support spoken language, reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary and spelling. This Starting Points resource will give you everything you need to plan a beautiful book-based unit of work for children in Upper KS2.
In this set of Starting Points, we have planned for the following grammar learning:
Use of commas to clarify meaning or avoid ambiguity
Creating cohesion with adverbials, through repetition and through adverbials
Use of the passive (including the agentless passive) to affect the presentation of information in a sentence
Conjunctions used to create subordination
The use of relative clauses
Past perfect forms of verbs
The use of prepositions
Starting Points are sets of book-based planning ideas. The books are not included in the packs.
We recommend this text highly for classes learning about WWII and the Holocaust. It is a sensitive and moving text which is ideal for introducing children to some of the most difficult aspects of WWII.
