- They will be allowed to have their plan with them and their annotated copy of the framed narrative
School
Timing: Learning Experiences:
Quick recap of the structure of framed narratives to ensure students understand what is
2 mins expected of them (no longer than a couple of minutes- need to ensure students have as
long as possible to write).

10 Students to look at their introductory paragraph and brainstorm ways to add more vivid
imagery to their framed narrative.
mins
Students will be spending this lesson writing their own framed narratives followed by a peer
50 evaluation. Their plans should be completed and they should have started writing their own
mins framed narratives last lesson.

Students will use a marking key to read and evaluate each others work before the end of
10 the lesson.
mins
Lesson conclusion:
The last five minutes of the lesson will be spent discussing what students thought were
good about each others work.
5 mins - What worked well
- Were they able to vividly imagine the reverie?

Management of behaviour:
- Students should not be talking whilst they are writing their own narratives.
- I will put the times on the board to help students keep track of how long they have
to write.
- I will sit at the back of the class a model writing along with the students while still
doing a walk around the class every ten minutes or so to ensure students are on
track and understand what is being asked of them.

Lesson Evaluation: (reflect on the lesson. What worked? What did not work? What would you change? Why?
How?)
