Key learning points
- The purpose of a resolution is to resolve the story and give the reader a chance to reflect.
- Saying sentences aloud before they are written helps to check for sense.
- Using the full range of sentence types (simple, compound and complex) improves text flow for the reader.
- Fronted adverbials of time, place and manner describe the action in the main clause in further detail.
- The narrative is written in the past tense.
Common misconception
Pupils might write about moments that take place in the opening, build-up or climax.
The resolution follows a clear, chronological order that includes the three key moments from pupils' plans.
Keywords
