2 Write a class story.
• Writing: Pupils can contribute some of the ideas they discussed in the ‘Speaking and listening’ exercise on page 30 (Maybe Rex got lost.) • In addition to the ‘wh’ questions, you may create a word web together to help generate ideas. • With pupils’ help, demonstrate how to select ideas and draft the story, thinking aloud as you do so. • Read the first draft and encourage pupils to help you to improve what has been written. Revising and proofreading should become habitual. • For more work on story writing, see Workbook 1 page 130–133.
