Two example letters from the point of view of Sam from the children’s novel A Dangerous Game by Malorie Blackman.
These exemplar informal letters are perfect to use as WAGOLLs after reading Chapter 4 of the text. The letters are written from Sam to two different recipients, Sam’s parents and Sam’s friend, about his trip to Scotland.
The contrasting model letters provide the opportunity for discussion about writing for a particular audience. Pupils can discuss the similarities and differences between the two.
Pupils can identify the features of the model texts, and then plan and write their own informal letter based on the examples.
The following documents are included in this resource pack:
