English: Week 14

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
