Lesson details
Key learning points
- The purpose of the climax is to describe the main action and to take the tension and excitement to its highest point.
- When we plan, we log precise and ambitious vocabulary to help paint vivid pictures for our reader.
- An effective plan's vocabulary is organised neatly and concisely in note form.
- Dialogue is the written conversation between two or more characters within a narrative and it moves the story forward.
- Show-not-tell language is a writing technique for showing a character’s feelings to a reader.
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.
