The Snail and the Whale -Planning, Writing and Publishing a Newspaper Article

This is an amazing pack for those teaching, studying and learning about the book ‘The Snail and the Whale’ by Julia Donaldson. This pack includes all the resources needed to teach writing a newspaper article. Educators have the choice between two scenes, they could teach. One being: when the whale was beached and the other is a honeymoon couple sighting the snail and the whale on their trip and reporting it to the newspaper reporter. Both situations will encourage the children to write lots as it will draw their interest and spark their imaginations. The Sign: ‘Beaming Literacy’ is only there for the document protection. It will not be on the ones you download.
