This term in Talk for Writing we have used the model text entitled Zog taken from the book written by Julia Donaldson.

We first drew our story map and then learned the actions and the story. The students can recite the whole text.

We have completed a range of activities including the tuff tray and models of the castle and the main characters. The students have been able to practise using puppets.

We have also completed short burst writing based around character descriptions. The students have also been able to write their own recount of the story.

Next week we are going to innovate our text. Students will choose a new character, setting and problem.
