Pupils will learn how to write an exciting action sequence with this The Hodgeheg themed example text, together with a feature find and answers, boxing up grid, differentiated planning sheets and text extract.
Pupils start by reading the action writing extract from the children’s book The Hodgeheg by Dick King-Smith. The structure is then examined using the boxing up method. A new text is planned by modelling the innovation (completed grid provided). Next pupils will analyse the example text using the feature find grid (answers provided) where they will need to find examples of listed action sequence grammar and language features. Lastly, pupils will plan their own action sequence using the differentiated planning grids and then write their own action sequence.
The following resources are provided:
• Example action sequence WAGOLL text
• Extract from The Hodgeheg
• Action sequence feature find worksheet
• Answers to feature find
• Boxing up grid - completed
• Differentiated boxing up planning templates
Ideas for action sequences:
• Pupils write their own account of Max the hedgehog crossing at the zebra crossing or under the underpass, but with different dangers/obstacles in his way.
• Pupils write about Max to crossing the road using a different method.
• Pupils write about a different animal character crossing the road.
• Pupils write about a different animal character doing something else that is difficult or dangerous, e.g. a duckling travelling across a busy river.
This resource can be used when reading the book The Hodgeheg, or for a standalone series of lessons about action sequence writing.
All resources come as easily editable Word documents and in PDF format.
