Activities in this teaching pack include a set of differentiated templates to plan a story to match the characters, settings and events that can be used in a specific fiction genre for core and extension ability levels and record the possible sequence of events for support ability levels.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to plan a story to match the characters, settings and events that can be used in a mystery or science fiction genre.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to investigate how authors use different settings to advance the plot in a story, practise adding the suffixes able and ible to word roots and write complex sentences incorporating punctuation and conjunctions. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
