Lesson details
Learning outcome
You can create your own story mountain to retell a story.
Key learning points
- Retelling a story helps us to remember the main events in a story and think about the different parts.
- Some events in a story can be joined using a joining "and".
- Story mountains map out the beginning, middle and end.
- Powerful adjectives can be added to a story mountain, such as "ferocious", "vibrant" and "playful".
- Retelling the story in the first person means we have to imagine we are the main character.
Keywords
Story mountain - a way to sequence and order key events of a story to retell
Plot - what happens in the story
Events - main parts of a story
Sequence - following the order in which a series of events happened
Common misconception
Pupils may only use the sequencing or descriptive language you have modelled.
Encourage pupils to refer back to previous learning to generate their own vocabulary. Model different options to children.
Teacher tip
