Lesson details
Key learning points
- In this lesson, we are writing a third person flashback and a first person perspective.
- Switching perspectives like this allows us to focus on different elements of the narrative at different points.
- Our flashback is likely to be more formal than the first person section.
- Both sections should include a range of sentence structures and punctuation.
- Orally rehearsing our writing allows us to write more confidently.
Common misconception
Pupils may struggle to punctuate direct speech correctly.
You may wish to select a few slides from our KS2 Grammar lessons on speech if appropriate to remind children of the punctuation rules.
Keywords

Flashback - a jump to a time or event that happened earlier in the narrative
