-8 ‘Genre Towers’ (Word banks to be printed and turned into a stand-up ‘tower’) -A4 size -Ideal for supporting KS2 and KS3 pupils in genre-specific writing Included: -1 x play script -1 x newspaper article -1 x narrative -1 x instructions -1 x formal letter -1 x discussions / debate -1 x diary entry -1 x biography and autobiography

A fantastic resource that specifically develops: -creativity -writing speed -enjoying writing -enjoying stories -just writing, rather than overthinking / worrying about grammar, vocab choice etc Recommended for: -reluctant writers (My Y5/Y6 boys love doing 200 Words each week) -slow writers -‘can’t get started’ writers -children who don’t read very much at home / have limited experience of stories How does it work? There are 4 Story Coordinate cards in each set: Character, Situation, Object and Place. Pupils randomly choose a coordinate from each card, giving you four very random story elements (E.g. a mysterious shadow, a hilarious accident, a tiny sword, behind a waterfall.) Set a time limit (my Y5/6 like to be given 10 minutes for this.) Within that time limit, pupils write a short story (or a part of a story) which includes as many of the 4 items as possible. It is important to stress to your pupils that, unlike writing lessons, this task is not about using amazing vocabulary/ broad range of punctuation / your neatest handwriting; it is about being creative, letting go and having fun. What’s incuded? -Notebook document (with an example-page to get you started) -4 x Character cards -4 x Situation cards -4 x Object cards -4 x Place cards
