Starting Points: The Sea of Tranquility
Starting Points are written to help you plan book-based units of work. In this set based on The Sea of Tranquility by Mark Haddon and Christian Birmingham 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 Year 2.
In this set of Starting Points, we have planned for the following grammar learning:
Subordination (using when, if, that, because) and co-ordination (using or, and, but)
Apostrophes used to show where a letter or letters would be if the word were written in full
Expanded noun phrases for description and specification
Correct choice and consistent use of present tase and past tense throughout writing
Capital letters for names and for the personal pronoun I (revisited from Year 1)
Starting Points are sets of book-based planning ideas. The books are not included in the packs.
