Description

In this unit, pupils read and explore the classic narrative 'The Sheep Pig'. They use retrieval and inference to develop their comprehension of the text. Finally, pupils identify the turning point in the story, marking the change in direction of the plot and discussing how this affects the story.

This unit uses and builds on learning around narrative structure and inference explored in the prior unit, 'Anansi and the Antelope Baby'. In this unit, pupils will read and listen to a more complex narrative and will discuss characterisation in more detail. They will explore the structure of the narrative and how turning points in the plot affect the story. This unit prepares pupils to develop their inference skills further with a more complex narrative and story structure in 'The Borrowers' in Year 4.
