“Toto the Great Magician” – what happens next? Full details for a great one hour lesson.
This resource encourages your students to listen to a specially written story and then to write their own continuation and then hear the second part of the story. Very detailed learning management notes are included together with a summary of a one hour lesson plan.
Read the start of this story to your students. It has been specially written by Johnnie Young to engage their interest.
There is a certain point in the story indicated (after 18 minutes of reading out loud) where you pause and then ask your students what they think might happen next. Get them to discuss that and then say: “I’m going to continue reading the story in a moment but just jot down in writing, in your own words, just for a few minutes, what you think might happen next which fits in with what we have read so far. Oh yes. Try to write in the same style as the story so far if you can. Use your imaginations and creative skills. Ready, start writing now please.”
