Today we started our new writing unit, a narrative using a clip from Literacy shed which we absolutely love! The clip is called ‘Tadeo Jones’ and links to our new expedition.
First of all we thought about what a narrative is and what features are included. We then found these features in an example narrative. Next we rewatched the clip thinking about what the character sees, hears, smells and feels at specific parts in the clip. We did some freeze framing for different parts of the story as well as thought bubbles to express ideas at different stages of the clip. We then worked in mini crews to chot our own ideas for our senses before feeding back to the whole crew.
We then moved onto think about the main character. We created a role on the wall thinking about Tadeo’s personality and appearance. Our debrief allowed us to reflect on the features of a narrative and we pop corned expanded noun phrases that we had built to describe the setting earlier.
