Writing - Unit 4 Novel as Theme

The Invention of Hugo Cabret - Brian Selznick

In this unit, we are learning about different forms of writing: diary, monologue, prediction, letter, summary.

We will use the novel and its themes to inform our writing.

The outcome of the unit will be a short story about an invention.

All writing builds on previous learning - for example, relative clauses, using semicolons in long list descriptions, and blended sentences.

The new writing skill that we will develop is - how to write an action sequence.
