The letter is written to the Greater Depth standard, and so would be ideal for use for higher ability children, or as a whole class stimulus to extend and develop sentence structure and vocabulary use. Also included is a word-bank with key vocabulary, as well as examples of sentences using dialogue to advance the action parenthesis (brackets, dashes and commas) dashes for additional information split speech colon list sentences semi colon with a conjunctive adverb short, impact sentences

The following resources are based upon the Richard Johnson picture book, ‘Once Upon a Snowstorm’ and are pitched at a Year 6 audience. A hyper-link to the book on YouTube is included in the PowerPoint, so owning the book is not necessary. The planning is appropriate for one week, including opportunity to edit and improve, as well as publish (or extend the writing, if considering use as a moderation piece). Included in the week’s planning is a PowerPoint presentation, taking teachers through the sequence of lessons, resulting in a setting description as the children’s written outcome by the end of the week. In addition, there are two example WAGOLLs, an immersion lesson and a skills practising lesson, where children are working on figurative language. Each lesson starts with 3 GPS SATs style questions as revision. The lessons follow the following sequence: 1 - immersion 2 - vocabulary/phrase bank building 3 - write 4 - finish writing. Edit and improve 5 - publish The build up focuses on children’s oracy and development of figurative language, specifically pathetic fallacy and personification.
