This Sentence Pattern Building Unit is based on the model text ‘How to slay the Minotaur’ and the linked text ‘Usborne Illustrated Stories from the Greek Myths'.
Unit guide
Grammarsaurus unit guides are designed to support teachers in creating a bespoke learning journey for their children. Each step of the journey has its purpose outlined along with our recommendations. Following that, the structure of the step is detailed in an easy-to-follow sequence, and to make things even simpler for you, we’ve exemplified this sequence with a suggested lesson fit for this unit. Unit guides offer practical examples using concrete, pictorial and abstract resources to support all learners.
 Sentence Pattern Building Unit Extension Pack
The Sentence Pattern Building Unit Extension Pack supports idea generation and gives pupils the opportunity to build and orally rehearse sentences before writing. It is less scaffolded than the original Sentence Pattern Building Unit, offering more options and greater flexibility for sentence building, thereby encouraging learner independence. This pack is designed to help lower and middle ability pupils succeed in lessons drawn from the unit guide.
Sentence Pattern Building Unit
The original Sentence Pattern Building Unit is also available for SEN, EAL and new to English pupils and is ideal for pre-teaching and intervention. It includes ready-made sentences and clear teacher guidance to support children in building and transcribing sentences, helping them understand sentence patterns and increasing their chances of success in lessons from the unit guide.
