Last week we compared the Mrs Armitage stories by Quentin Blake. We spotted lots of similarities and differences. We also worked out the pattern the stories follow, and decided to have a go at writing our own stories.
To begin with we knew we had to include the characters of Mrs Armitage and Breakspear the dog. Then we decided on a form of transport for them to use in our stories. Next we planned 3 problems, and 3 resolutions to do with their journey. We realised that Mrs Armitage normally changes the vehicle in some way to fix her problems! Finally we thought about how we wanted our stories to end.
Then we worked in pairs or groups to plan our stories by drawing a story map, and rehearsing telling the stories.
Here we are performing our stories...
