English: Day 2 – For anyone who needs an extra day to finish:
We are going to continue with retelling the animation ‘Soar’
Watch the film here: https://vimeo.com/148198462
Use your sequencing grid you completed yesterday as a plan to help you with your writing.
Retell the story, from the girl’s point of view. We are looking for:
– Use of first person (you are writing as the girl)
– A range of punctuation
– Exciting vocabulary
– Different sentence lengths
– Writing that implies how the characters are feeling rather than just telling the reader e.g. Mara held her breath as the plane took flight.
– Correct spellings
Here is an example written by another Year 6 child to help you: Soar Example
