Let us save you valuable planning time when it comes to teaching your class about different features of a paragraph. Instead, use our Year 4 Paragraphs Unit Plan and the accompanying resources for each lesson. It's versatile and can be used by any adult during the lesson, or as a guide to how the lesson should be taught.

This document includes a timetable with a proposed overview for the whole year, so that you can see where this fits in with other grammar work. In addition, there are links to where the work meets a national curriculum objective and there's a suggested breakdown of these objectives into a sequenced set of lessons.

Each lesson, or small step, has its own page with a notes and guidance section that suggests what children should already know when they begin this unit of work, and there's an expected outcome shared too. There's also a set of focused questions that can be used at the start of the lesson, or throughout to check children's understanding.
