An example action text inspired by the novel Oranges in No Man’s Land by Elizabeth Laird, plus feature find with answers and novel extract.

Pupils will examine the exciting text extract from the refugee novel, looking for features of an action sequence. After highlighting features and noting examples of those features in a table, pupils will be introduced to an example text written from the point of view of a different character from the book. They can then write their own action text.

The action sequence extract is taken from chapters 13 and 14, when Ayesha is taken back across Beirut’s Green Line by Abu Bashir in a United Nations’ ambulance.

The model text is written from Abu Bashir’s perspective instead of Ayesha’s. This text can be used as a WAGOLL for writing.

The following documents are provided in easily editable Word format and as PDF:
• Extract feature find
• Extract feature find answers
• Feature table
• Action text order of events
• Example text from Abu Bashir’s point of view

The following action text features are identified:
• Verbs to show danger or speed
• Noun phrases to show danger or speed
• Adverbials to show speed
• Short sentences
• Thoughts and feelings
• Show not tell feelings
• Similes
• Metaphors
• Personification
• Repetition for effect
• Onomatopoeia
• Hyperbole
