Writing a dialogue
Telling Rowdy is mostly made up of dialogue between two people. After reading and understanding the text, ask the students to use it as a template to write their own conversation. They may find it helpful to look at the punctuation used throughout the extract, and apply it to their own writing.
Analyzing text
Ask the students to choose one e-pal text to analyze. Ask them to examine the kind of information that has been given and why they think the student has chosen that information. How effective do the students consider their chosen e-pals information to be? What do they think is relevant in the text and what do they think is missing? Have the students share their thoughts before they write their own e-pal texts.
Additional activity
After reading both pieces on The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, ask the students to think of an unusual or unlikely friendship they may have. The Student book has some suggested questions to get them started. When they have finished, ask if any students would like to share their writing with the class.
