To identify and discuss main events in a story.

Now we have read the whole book, we are going to read a short version of the story so that we can learn it off by heart.

This short version has the same structure of the original with a beginning, middle and end. It also follow the same sequence with the events taking place in the correct order. Can you spot the differences?

We are going to read it again, but this time, we will use actions for capital letters and full stops.

Now let's look at what a story map of this would look like.

Let's write a list of important things we need to remember to include in our writing when we invent a new story:

• a beginning, middle and end
• events in the correct order
• time words to move the story on

Listen to “The Lonely Giraffe”.

Loneliness can cause us to feel uncomfortable emotions. What might this look like in ourselves/other people?

Which of these pictures shows loneliness?
