Sorry, exemplified detail of this unit is not currently available.
Overview
• (Reading and response): Read and tell a selection of stories with settings and themes that are familiar to the children, for example home, school, shops, holidays, getting lost, making friends, being ill. Children retell stories in pairs focusing on the sequence of events.
• Identify the characters. Use role-play to retell the story from one character's point of view and explore different courses of action.
• Children select a character and describe what they do in the story, orally and in writing.
• (Analysis): Review the stories. Discuss the way that one event leads to another and identify temporal connectives. Represent the story structure in note form.
• Begin to tell another story. Invite predictions about characters' actions and the sequence of events.
• (Writing): Demonstrate how to plan the structure of a story: opening, something happens, events to sort it out, ending. Demonstrate how to write the beginning of the story. Children write their own endings.
• Children plan and tell stories based on their own experience. They use the structure from shared writing to write their own complete stories.
