Common misconception
Pupils think they need to use new ideas when publishing their writing.
Pupils should use the sections they have written in previous lessons that have been planned, drafted and edited.
Model how to draw the key moment from 'Jabberwocky' under a visualiser or on an interactive whiteboard. You could also support pupils' drawing process by showing them illustrations from various book versions of the original story.
