Planning for this interesting book. sample Show chn the front cover of The Hodgeheg and say that we will be working on this book. Read blurb on back then ask chn what type of story they think this is? Establish that it is a Quest or Adventure story with a problem, journey and resolution. Ask chn what else the blurb tells us and note their ideas for Working Display notes. (E.g. the main character is Max who is a hedgehog, he has a family and he wants to cross the road…). Explain that today we are going to be Sentence Detectives as we read the story. We are looking for sentences which have adverbs in them. Revise the fact that an adverb modifies a verb, telling us how something was done: She went happily to see her granny. Develop this to talk about fronted adverbials, phrases at the start of a sentence which act like an adverb, telling us how, where or when something is done or happened, e.g. In total silence, the girls tiptoed along the corridor. Comprehension 1/ Grammar 1 Display extract from Hodgeheg (see resources). Read it out loud together. Briefly revise the rules for writing dialogue: (1) Speech marks around direct speech; (2) new speaker = new line; (3) Punctuation (question marks, exclamation marks, commas, full stops) that goes within the speech marks. Point out that if the dialogue finishes but it’s not the end of a sentence, then a comma goes at the end of the dialogue within the speech marks. See resources for marked up example. Then make-up physical signs for each type of punctuation, e.g. speech marks = hands held up, 2 fingers on each hand bent; comma = one finger drawing it in the air; full stop = pointing gesture, etc. Draw a map of the passage together, (look at the example map resource to guide you). Ask chn for suggestions for each element. Spoken language 1
