Green class have reached the end of the Loosing Tale unit of writing. Over the past three weeks we have used actions to help us learn the Tale of Daft Jack, a story written by Laurence Anholt.
We have explored different sentence types to improve our writing, had a go at making some small changes to the original story before re-writing and this week we have applied what has been learnt by creating our own Losing Tales.
Have a look at our story maps and see if you can work out our story ideas.
What is a Losing Tale?
This is a story with five clear parts.
- Opening where the main character (MC) has something precious.
- Build up MC sets off with the precious item.
- Problem MC loses the precious item and has to search for it and face the consequences.
- Resolution The precious item is found.
- Ending MC vows to keep the item safe and reflects on their feelings or learns a lesson.
