A three week Talk for Writing unit based on the model text: Zelda Claw and the Rain Cat. Children will learn the model text during the imitation phase as well as study the text structure and features for suspense. They will work towards writing the next part of Zelda’s journey using the same structure.
Week 2/3 includes an innovation and then the final independent writing lessons. There are lots of alternative ideas provided for where Zelda can go next and what other threats may approach.
Short burst writing tasks based around using features for suspense and descpription/ action sentences.
Comes with 3 weeks of Power Points, a model text and a copy of the box up grid I have used throughout the unit- all are easily editable to suit the needs of your class and many of the slides are useful for screen shotting and printing for use in books. Each day also has a SPaG starter question. Innovation phase includes SEN planning sheets made using widget
For the innovation stage there are small chunks of the model text that are highlighted with minimum areas for the children to consider changing. This can be modeled or edited in a way to suit your teaching style.
Please note that I am unable to include the original model text as I do not own this resource. This can be easily found online as a T4W resource. I had changed a few vocabulary words to suit my class.
