- Recalling parts of a story help us to remember what happened, such as remembering the order of what Jack steals.
- Asking questions to the character helps us to consider key events and themes
- Illustrations can offer clues as to how characters might feel or what might happen next
- Thinking from different character's perspectives helps us to decide which character is in the right or wrong
Common misconception
Pupils may struggle to generate vocabulary to explain the expressions and movements.
The purpose of learning cycle 1 is to provide the children with vocabulary. Narrate how the children are feeling in their freeze-frames and get them to repeat. For example, you may say 'You look famished.' and the children repeat 'We are famished'.
