English Week 14
Well done for writing some brilliant settings descriptions last week. This
week we are going to re-tell the story.
We are going to use them in our stories this week.
Peter Pan is quite a long story, with lots happening, so we are going to
concentrate on re-telling the beginning.
Lesson
1
LO: To re-tell a story verbally
In our first lesson, we are going to do some drama!
Look back on our reading posts or watch the clip below to remind
yourself of what happens in the beginning of the story.
Time to role play and perform.
Task 1
Can you re-tell the beginning of the story out
loud?
Try to add expression into your voice and even some actions to help you
re-tell the story to your grown up or sibling.
Lesson
2
LO: To create a story map
We can map out the beginning of the story using a story map.
This will be a drawing of what happens in the first part of the story.
Try to include key events like… Peter losing his shadow, Wendy and the
children learning how to fly and arriving in Neverland.
Task
Can you draw a story map of what happens at the
beginning of Peter Pan?
Example Story Maps
Lesson
3
LO: To plan using a story map
Yesterday you created a story map to help you plan your writing.
Today we are going to write sentences for each part (picture) on your
story map.
This will help you get all the ideas from your imagination onto paper.
Task
Can you write at least 6 short sentences to plan
the beginning of a story?
I’ve suggested some underneath, but I’m sure you could think of some
creative ones too.
Example
Peter Pan flew into the nursey looking for his
shadow.
Wendy woke up and saw that he needed his shadow
sewing back on.
Peter asked Wendy to go to Neverland.
Lesson
4
LO: To write the beginning of a story
Hopefully you have some simple sentences ready to expanded to create
your short recount of the beginning of Peter Pan.
If you write the story up to
the point where the children first see Neverland, you can use your settings description
to expanded it even further.
You will need to expand your sentences using adjectives, adverbs or
conjunctions.
Add speech using speech marks.
Include the characters’ feelings.
Example
Peter Pan swiftly flew into the peaceful nursey because he was searching
everywhere for his sneaky lost shadow.
When Wendy heard Peter weeping, she woke up and quickly realised that he
needed help getting his shadow to attach.
After Wendy had sewed the shadow back on, Peter realised how helpful she
was.
“Why don’t you come back to Neverland with me so the Lost Boys can have
a mother!” Peter suggested.
Task
In your best handwriting, edit and write the
beginning of Peter Pan. Remember to check your toolkit!
