The range of activities in this unit of work are intended to suggest opportunities around the novel Mr Stink by David Walliams which can be used in Literacy and across the curriculum. There are weblinks to extend and enrich children’s learning and teachers will identify PSHE opportunities arising from these activities (Homelessness; Bullying; Reasons for keeping a pet, etc).

There are specific activities to teach grammatical aspects of literacy but teachers will identify further opportunities which should be tailored to children’s needs. The whole unit of work could be completed in about 2 weeks, or extended to half a term’s work using the suggested links.
It is not intended to be a prescriptive unit of work where all activities are worked through slavishly, although it is structured chronologically. Teachers should select from, and adapt, these resources to meet the needs of the children they teach.

The Lion and Albert by Marriott Edgar
KS3 English: Choral and Performance Poetry

The Lion and Albert resource overview:

Pupils hear, read, and experience performance poetry, both on paper and in actual performance through a recorded monologue. They explore the contribution made by the performance element. They then write in various genres based on the poem.

Pupils respond to the experience and discuss and analyse what the performance element adds to the poetry and in what ways. They also consider dialect and accent in the poem The Lion and Albert.

Pupils identify features that might make a good performance, for example well-chosen words, powerful verbs, adjectives, adverbs and precise nouns; use of detail and sense impressions; surprising and illuminating combinations of words; repetition, alliteration, onomatopoeia, rhythm and rhyme. They select, rehearse and present some of them, looking to develop effective use of such features as volume, pace, expression and movement, and possibly adding simple music or rhythm, body percussion, etc. They evaluate and self-evaluate their performances and improve them.

The teacher models and then supports the children in writing/creating a range of texts which are linked to the theme of the poem.

The teacher models and then supports the children in writing their own poems which are then rehearsed, performed, shared, evaluated and improved. A simple digital video camera, which itself can be operated by children, provides an excellent way of recording and reviewing children's own live performances, and ICT media, such as pod casting, can provide a wider audience for such performances.

Additional creative activities can be used to extend this unit, such as using stop motion animation to retell the poem, or a narrative version; using a cartoon strip to retell the story.

The resource provides opportunities for drama, writing in role, writing in different genres, and writing and performing poetry.  It also gives pupils the opportunity to explore colloquialisms, accent and dialect.
