Writing
Before you begin writing, spend time gathering ideas. One way of doing this is to ask the questions: Who? Where? What? Plan a story about this girl who has spilt her drink over a new sofa.
1 Ask yourself these questions. 1 Who is in the story? 2 Where does the story take place? 3 What happens?
2 Copy this plan and fill it in.
Who?
Where?
What?
• Word work , extension: Ask pupils to put the words in alphabetical order. • Writing , Exercise 1: Generating ideas (sometimes called Pre-writing ) is the first stage of the writing process . (See page 135.) Tell pupils that gathering ideas and planning is a very important first step. DA Practise storytelling, using a circular storytelling activity. Each pupil adds another sentence to the story. Encourage them to add detail to their contributions.
