Lesson details
Key learning points
- Writing is most successful when it is planned and rehearsed.
- When we plan, we can use our text map as a basis, breaking it down into key scenes.
- For each scene, we make notes about the actions, descriptions, dialogue and emotions we might include (where relevant).
- We also plan to include the rich vocabulary that we have generated in previous lessons.
Common misconception
Pupils may feel tempted to rush through the plan with too little detail in each paragraph.
This is the purpose of encouraging pupils to engage with the narrative elements - model and encourage reflecting on each event through these four lenses.
