Lesson details
Key learning points
- ‘The Iron Man’ is a science fiction novel about a robotic giant named the Iron Man.
- A narrative can be structured into four key sections: the opening, the build-up, the climax and the resolution.
- Each part of a narrative has a specific purpose.
- Sometimes with longer novels, stories might go through a few cycles of this structure.
- You can use your voice, language choices and expression to retell a story effectively.
Common misconception
Pupils may find it hard to stop retelling at the end of Chapter three and may continue to retell the rest of the story.
Make it clear that we are only focusing on the first part of the story for this narrative writing unit. Model retelling the story first.
