Activities in this teaching pack include differentiated templates to compose and storyboard an alternative ending to a story fable to show changes to the sequence of events when using the same characters to illustrate a moral lesson that can be taught to the reader.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to compose an alternative ending to a story fable illustrating the actions and thoughts of characters about the narrative events.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to explore and describe some of the different characters settings and events that can feature in traditional fables, identify families of words with common spellings and practise punctuating direct speech in sentences. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
