Lesson details
Key learning points
- We are writing a narrative that includes switches in perspective and tense.
- In this lesson, we will write only a present tense, first person paragraph in role as Addie.
- Because we are in role as Addie, we may use some informal language features like short sentences and contractions.
- We will also want to include the full range of sentence structures and punctuation.
- Orally rehearsing our writing helps us to be prepared to write.
Common misconception
Pupils may confuse this first person writing with internal monologue and focus only on Addie's thoughts.
Here, we haven't used the term 'internal monologue' because we are describing events and observations from Addie's perspective and not just thoughts.
Keywords
First person - the 'I/we' perspective
