Year 2 Year 3 Narrative writing Developing exciting sentence types using Boxing Clever strategy

This whole pack includes detailed lesson plans designed for an observed lesson (outstanding). It centres around the children writing a scary story after selecting a central character (vampire, witch, dragon etc). the story is developed followed the Boxing Clever strategy: WHO, WHERE, WHERE NEXT, PROBLEM, WHO HELPS, RESOLUTION. This then includes within each section exciting sentence types to be included (Alan Peat) such as adj, adj, list, time opening, place opening, change of pace sentence, emotion comma, adverb opening etc. I have found that this enables even the less able children to construct a story which has a wealth of descriptive elements and varied sentence structures. It leads them away from 'safe' sentences that they overuse and exposes them to more complex sentences. Loads of activities here all differentiated.
