Explore the world of formal and informal language with this Year 6 Formal and Informal Unit Plan.
With a suggested timetable of GPS steps to be taught throughout the year, this resource breaks down the formal and informal objective into smaller and more manageable steps to help deliver a concise teaching sequence.
Each small step comes with notes and guidance for support as well as a set of focused questions to help get you started with your class. Resources are available to support this lesson, including teaching resources, worksheets and much more!
