Sporle Primary Academy
Friday, 26th February
English:
Today you will be writing your own 'Just So' story using your plan from yesterday.
Read the WAGOLL text below, so you can see what a really good example of a just so story looks like. (WAGOLL stands for What A Good One Looks Like). Remember, you can magpie any words or phrases from this text to use in your own story. (DISCLAIMER: this does not mean you can copy the story though!)
Open the fronted adverbials word mat to give you some ideas on how you can start your sentences/paragraphs.
Then, it’s time to write your story. Remember to:
- Include a great story opening - are you going to start with introducing a character? Open with dialogue? Describe the setting? I am looking forward to seeing you open your story in a fantastic way.
- organise your writing into paragraphs
- make sure your sentences make sense
- try to include some good vocabulary (remember to use description to help the reader picture what is happening)
- Include some direct speech (with inverted commas “” commas , and capital letters in the correct places)
- Vary the start of your sentences (e.g. fronted adverbials, conjunctions)
I can’t wait to read your finished stories!
