Lesson details
Key learning points
- Information about a character and setting can be found in the text and in illustrations.
- A front cover shares the title, 'Wild', the author, Emily Hughes and illustrations.
- Knowing some key information about the book, such as the setting being a forest, helps to make a prediction.
- A setting means where a story takes place.
- The plot is what the story is about.
Common misconception
Pupils believe that bears live in forests in the United Kingdom.
Although bears do live in the woods, they do not live in the United Kingdom. This helps to show us that "Wild" is a fictional story.
Keywords
Prediction - making a guess using what we already know
Character - a person or an animal in a story
Setting - where the story takes place
Plot - what happens in the story
Provide lots of opportunities to re-read the whole story to the class. Retell the story how you would like them to write it - past tense, using sequencing language, description and using "and" to join two ideas. Look at lessons 6-8 for the example.
