Monday:

LI: to plan a narrative about what happens to Tim in the poem

Open http://www.northsomersetteachersbookaward.com/blog/2016/3/21/nnnsvy3w20cl2c9nnhbbzqdu3f6qvy and scroll down to the second image – read this extract of the poem and look at the illustration of Tim.

Go through Tim the ostler PowerPoint.

Today’s task: plan a narrative about what happens to Tim during the poem.

• Open Planning Sheet. Very little is known about Tim and we are left with lots of questions! You get to decide what Tim was doing during the ‘beginning’, ‘build up’ and ‘his dilemma’ (three parts of your planning sheet). Use the PowerPoint to help you decide how you want your narrative to look.
• Look at Planning Sheet – WAGOLL. This is a plan about what happens to the landlord (rather than Tim) during the poem to give you an idea of what we expect you to do in your plan (i.e. notes rather than full sentences, using the space to the right for any figurative language or phrases that spring to mind).

Tuesday:

LI: to write the first draft of a narrative (about Tim the ostler)

Take a look at the RUBRIC – if you can, print it, cut it out and stick it into your book, underneath your date and LI (you can stick it in as a flap if you prefer). Spend some time reading it and pick your challenge. Don’t forget to look at the checklist – you all need to do this! You may want to look at SPaG Recap to remind you of the rules surrounding relative clauses, speech punctuation and colons & semi-colons.

Begin writing your narrative, writing on every other line – (write no more than 2 and a half pages double spaced).

Wednesday:

LI: to write the first draft of a narrative (about Tim the ostler)…continued

Mid-point check: are you remembering to look at and include things in the RUBRIC? Take note of anything you haven’t done yet and consider where you could add them/plan to use them.

Continue writing your narrative – remember, write no more than 2 and a half pages double spaced).

Thursday:

LI: to edit and proof read my narrative

Open Editing and Proofing Checklist to help you with your editing and proofing. Remember to refer to your RUBRIC too – if you have missed anything out, now is the time to edit it in. Can you move up a level on any of the rows – what do you need to add in?

Remember do your purple polishing neatly, on the lines you left in between your writing – if you don’t have a purple pen, use a different colour (e.g. a blue biro) instead. If you need more room, use numbered asterisks (e.g. 1*) and write it on your next page. Remember, you can make use of perfect paragraph flaps if you need to re-write a larger section.

Once you think you have finished, give it one final read through. Perhaps you could ask an adult to read it through with you too – can they spot anything that could be improved?
