Narrative Planning Journal – 6 Taylor

Year 6 students are currently writing a narrative on journey. They are using a visual stimulus of a girl with a bright red scooter to help them with their thinking and planning. Each expert group was handed a different stimulus picture and in small groups, students unpacked the image and then presented their ideas to the class. This led to many discussions especially on themes and the symbolic colour red, which appeared on every page. Students then used their thinking and ideas to complete a narrative plan. Spending time planning helps students with structure and the flow of their narratives.
