Depending on the class dynamic, this lesson could be made into one big competition with time limits and/or point systems for each activity.
WALT • Spot and talk about different parts of information texts, so we can use them to help us find specific information. • Make up questions about a topic and learn to skim read, so we can find out the general idea of the text.

Encourages children to think about the Features of a Comedy. It links to You Can’t Bring That in Here by Robert Swindells. But activity can be used without this book and can link to any comedy.
Dialogue: the repetition of ‘you can’t bring that in here’ which is then used by the gorilla at the end.
– Vocabulary: funny similes, for example, ‘the sofa looked like a tatty boat afloat on a sea of can rings and screwed-up crisp packets’.
– Action: Jimmy swapping a number of ‘normal’ animals, ending up with a talking gorilla.
– Authorial voice: use of the third person makes the reader sympathise with Jimmy and ridicules Osbert.

Good writing may start with an exciting idea, but it needs structure to make sense to a reader. Grammar provides a framework on which to display the imagination.
Writing brings together individual expression and an understanding of the rules that allow our language (any language) to make sense. This book has been written with the view that grammar and creativity go hand in hand to produce good writing. Developing children’s understanding of the basics of English will encourage their literary adventures. The range of activities here has been designed to excite interest as well as guide children and teachers through the rules.
