Lesson details
Key learning points
- When we plan, we log precise and ambitious vocabulary to help paint vivid pictures for our reader with words.
- Dialogue is the written conversation between two characters or more within a narrative and it moves the story forward.
- A plan is written in note-form, out of full sentences.
- The purpose of the climax is to describe the main action and to take the tension and excitement to its highest point.
- The purpose of the resolution is to resolve a story, tying up its 'loose ends', allowing readers a chance to reflect.
Common misconception
Pupils may think they can write a narrative by briefly explaining each key moment.
It is important we choose a range of adjectives, verbs and adverbs to include in our plan that create a full, descriptive narrative. The reader needs to be able to 'see' the pictures we paint with our words.
