Planning the resolution of a narrative based on 'The Man on the Moon'
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can plan precise, ambitious vocabulary to write a narrative resolution based on 'The Man on the Moon’.
Key learning points
- The purpose of the resolution is to resolve the story and give readers a chance to reflect.
- Precise and ambitious vocabulary is logged on a plan for future use.
- Notes should not be written in full sentences and bullet points can be used to make notes clear.
- Fronted adverbials of time, place and manner indicate when, where and how an action takes place.
Keywords
Plan - a framework that writers create before they write a section or whole text
Notes - written out of full sentences
Ambitious vocabulary - high-level language in writing that meets the text purpose
Fronted adverbial - a sentence starter followed by a comma
Common misconception
Planning needs to be detailed and include full sentences.
Planning should only have key vocabulary and be written in note-form using bullet points.
Teacher tip
Re-watch the resolution several times so that pupils are clear about which moments of the film are in the resolution. Ensure pupils are given an opportunity to reflect and consider how the characters' actions contrast with those from the opening.
