Hi all , happy Friday! This week we will be a story from a different culture

L. O. To write a narrative piece of writing

We will be basing our work this week around a clip from Literacy Shed called “Zahra”. Zahra spends all day collecting water in order to help her tree grow so she can get some shade. She travels back and forth to the water pump but to no avail. The tree won't grow. It is not until a bead of sweat falls on the roots that the tree springs forth and grows protectively in order to protect her from the sun.

How do we know she is in a different country?

Click on the link below and scroll down until you find “Zahra’s story” (it is the 4 th video) and look like the screen below: https: //www. literacyshed. com/the-other-cultures-shed. html As you watch the clip todayhave a look through your planis there anything you want to add to it?

Today you will be writing the last 2 paragraphs of your retell and then edit your WHOLE piece of writing. This is the resolution and ending Have a look at the model, which is back on the school’s website, to help you form your own version. Remember to include that high level vocabulary that we use!

EDIT: Read it through out loud if you can Does it make sense? Are there any words that you do not think are spelt correctly? Check them using a dictionary or dictionary. com Have you got a variety of way of beginning your sentences? Have you got a semi colon ; or a : colon Have you included a relative clause? Add one if not Have you included a subordinate clause? Add one if not Have you stuck to the same tense and person the whole way through? Conjunctions? Do you have the best one you can?
