Lesson Learning Objectives:  

1. To explore the story, setting, characters and ideas.

2. To order the story sentences.

3. To up-level sentences adding in interesting adjectives.

4. To role-play the story using the key words and ideas.


All children should be able to:

Experience the story through watching the video, reading the story and learning the "Talk for Writing" actions recalling the parts that they liked the best.


Most Children should be able to:

Empathise with the character and describe the emotions that the characters are feeling within different parts of the story.  List a range of fruit and adjectives that describe the fruit depending upon if they like or dislike it.


Some Children should be able to:

List a range of additional fruit and higher level adjectives, compare personal experiences when they felt the same as the characters.

Describe examples of what they have done or could do today for someone that would be a caring and thoughtful action - develop empathy with others.

Greater Depth:
Change the characters, fruit making the story their own using interesting adjectives

Below are some signs that the children have learned.  This concept is based on Pie Corbet's concept called Talk for Writing.  Learning the story through actions (kinesthetically) is just one of several methods within the concept that help the child learn the structure and repeated phases and punctuation within the text.
Now perform your actions!
