Lesson Details
Key learning points
- We are writing about an event from the build-up, using a third person perspective.
- We are then using internal monologue to reflect on the same event from Addie's perspective.
- Using a plan and orally rehearsing our writing helps us to do our best writing.
- We should aim to use a complete range of sentence types and language features in our writing.
Common misconception
Pupils may struggle to convert their plan into complete sentences.
Ensure that pupils have plenty of time to orally rehearse using their plans.
