In Week 2, lessons will include a detailed exploration of the characters and settings, guiding students to describe them vividly. An adaptive worksheet is included to support learners of all levels, ensuring that every student can successfully engage with the task and make progress in their writing.

Through structured activities, they will practise sequencing events, using descriptive language to bring the settings to life, and incorporating key story details. Emphasis will be placed on vivid descriptions of settings, inspired by the original text, to build their storytelling confidence. Pupils will then use these skills to collaboratively create and share their own imaginative retellings. Adaptive support is included to ensure all pupils can fully participate and succeed.

They will also practise making inferences from the text to deepen their understanding of the characters and settings, using these insights to enhance their own writing. Activities will encourage pupils to draw conclusions from clues in the story and translate these ideas into their descriptive work. Adaptive tasks are included to ensure all learners can engage meaningfully with the objectives.
