Rat Burger Diff Writing Planning Sheets

Based on David Walliams book Rat Burger. There are 2 writing opportunties for children to get into character. A geat way to showcase chracterisation for moderators and to create dailogue.

The first differentiated planning sheets are a diary entry based on the viewpoint of Zoe.

The next planning sheet is guided to create the viewpoint of Sheila- the evil stepmother. Children are encoauged to write like they are Sheila- a great way to show characterisation which is greater depth in Y6 writing.

The next planning sheet is taken from the scene when Zoe has a rat on her head, the children can either rewrite that part of the story using dialogue and add an extra chapter when Sheila (Zoe’s evil stepmother) comes to pick her up from school or simly recreate their own chapter for the book.

These planning sheets are differentiated, have question prompts for each paragraph and punctuation challenges. This unit of work is a brilliant opportunity to showcase dialogue to advance the action, characterisation and writing based on what they have read in the style of that auhtor- greater depth standards.
