Today you are going to plan a 'Just So’ story this story. Start by thinking about what characteristics different animals have. Some examples are the giraffe’s long neck, the camel’s hump or a zebra’s stripes. Then think about where your story will be set. How will your animal get its features? Does your animal go on a journey like the elephant child or is it tricked like the tiger? Once you have decided on these details use the storyboard below to plan your story.
