Lesson details
Key learning points
- In this lesson, we are writing a third person flashback and a first person perspective.
- Switching perspectives like this allows us to focus on different elements of the narrative at different points.
- Our flashback is likely to be more formal than the first person section.
- Both sections should include a range of sentence structures and punctuation.
- Orally rehearsing our writing allows us to write more confidently.
Keywords
First person - the 'I/we' perspective
Flashback - a jump to a time or event that happened earlier in the narrative
Third person - the 'he/she/it/they' perspective
Oral rehearsal - saying the words you plan to write out loud in order to make the writing process easier
Common misconception
Pupils may struggle to punctuate direct speech correctly.
You may wish to select a few slides from our KS2 Grammar lessons on speech if appropriate to remind children of the punctuation rules.
