Lesson details
Key learning points
- We have planned the structure, content and vocabulary for our narrative.
- When we write, we use cohesive devices to connect our plan notes together into coherent sentences.
- We can use fronted adverbials of time to add pace to our writing.
- We should aim to include all the narrative elements of action, description, dialogue and emotions in our writing.
- Oral rehearsal prior to writing helps us to write more easily.
