Key Questions Teaching
Show the children the PowerPoint ® about different sentence types.
Ask the children to give some examples of sentence types that we use in own writing.
Remind the children of the BOYS and 2A sentences. Write suggestions down. Ask could we extend these sentences, giving more detail?
Model how we might come up with a simple sentence – ‘I walked into school’ – and add another simple sentence to give more detail.

Tell pupils this week we will be focusing on flashback stories. Ask children what does it mean to flashback?

Ask pupils if they can recall the main stages of a narrative. Put up mixed words on board.
Can pupils recall the order?

1. Opening
2. Build up
3. Dilemma
4. Events
5. Resolution
6. End

Tell pupils effective flashback stories often open in the middle of action. This week we will focus on how to write an effective flash back opening.

First we are going to explore a possible story plot. Today’s lesson we are going to look at a picture still and pupils are going to work in pairs to work out what is happening / happened.

What does it mean to flashback? How should a narrative be structured? Why is this a good structure?

Tell pupils there are two ways to start an effective flashback story opening. We can use a 3-ed sentence or an If… If… If… sentence.

This week we are going to explore 3-ed sentences.
The technique we are going to use is called the Cliff hanger 3-ed sentence.

First part of our lesson we are going to look at just the 3- ed sentence. Explain to the pupils, -ed sentences describe a characters emotion/feelings.
The sentence starts with 3 adjectives which end in –ed.
Eg. Frightened, confused, amused.

Show another still picture from ‘Holes’. (see slide 2 of PPT). Ask children to write as many adjectives ending in ‘ed’ as they can think of to describe the scene.
Together, use these adjective and come up with a 3-ed sentences to describe this scene.
E.g. Disgusted, puzzled, repulsed, he held the shoes away from his nose.
Children now to generate their own using the words.

Now show slide 3. Children to generate 3-ed sentences.

Which words best describe the image? Why?
Which sentence is the most effective? Why? Would changing the order of the adjectives make it sound better/worse? Why?
