Talk for Writing - The Magic Shell - Wishing Tale

This is a 3 week unit based on a fiction, wishing tale called The Magic Shell. It would fit in nicely in the Spring term or at the start of the Summer term because the toolkit stretches the more able children helping them to achieve greater depth.

Toolikit - inverted commas, different words for said, question and exclamation marks.

Week 1 - Immitation
Children orally rehearse the story the story of The Magic Shell, they work on the toolkit for the unit and box up the story to learn the structure.

Week 2 - Innovation - The Magic Stick
children learn an innovation version of the wishing tale. This pack includes the innovated text so you don’t need to invent on yourself. Children work on spotting the toolkit within the innovation and have the opportunity to innovate their own wishing tale under the guidance of the teacher.

Week 3 - Independent Write
Children box up their own wishing tale and spend the week writing their tale.

This pack includes a detailed 3 week plan which notes for scaffolding for different levels and children on the adpapted curriculum. It also includes powerpoints for the toolkit and some worksheet reosurces. It includes both texts for the innovation and immitation. All resources are editable.
