This is Part 1 of 2 of a varied and engaging Non-Fiction unit of work consisting of at least 11 Lessons, with a variety of activities. Throughout this part of the unit, students explore how writers and organisations present places and experiences.
The scheme includes regular retrieval activities, analytical questions, language and summary tasks, creative writing and a range of engaging activities designed to keep students involved.

A review of Disneyland Paris
An extract from An Idiot Abroad by Karl Pilkington (the visit to Egypt)

The unit provides regular opportunities for students to:
Analyse language and presentation
Explore the purpose, audience and methods used in non-fiction texts
Answer language and summary questions
Compare and evaluate different types of travel writing
Develop their understanding of how writers and organisations present places and experiences
The unit also includes:
Language and summary questions that can be adapted for use as a reading assessment
A variety of analytical, discussion and creative activities
Repeat questions at the start of each lesson based upon the prior lesson(s)
The resources are organised into a clear sequence of lessons and provide a varied approach to teaching non-fiction. The wide range of texts and activities means that students encounter different forms of travel writing while repeatedly developing and revisiting key reading and writing skills.
Use the complete sequence as a full scheme of work or adapt individual lessons to suit your own classes.
