Activities in this teaching pack include a differentiated set of worksheets to record how to compile lists of words that can be used to describe the appearance and behaviour of different characters that feature in a fable to show their importance in the narrative sequence of events in the story.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to compile lists of words used in fables to describe the appearance and behaviour of different story characters.

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.
