Sequencing and making a story mountain: 'The Magic Porridge Pot'
I can sequence a story and use it to retell.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- Retelling a story helps to remember the main events and use storytelling language, such as 'Once upon a time,'
- Story mountains map out the beginning, middle and end
- Only the most important events in the story need to be on a story mountain
- Using sequencing language such as 'The next day,' at the start of the sentence helps the reader follow the story
- Adding descriptive language will help when the story is being written
Common misconception
Pupils may find it difficult to identify the main events in the story and they may try and include too much on their story mountain.
Explain that the main events are the most important moments in the story. Without these moments, the story would not flow. Pick out some elements of the text that are minor moments and share these as non-examples.
