We have been writing our own adventure stories.

We began by learning a short story, written by Pie Corbett called ‘The Canal’

We internalised the story using a story map and actions to help us.

After that we ‘boxed up’ the story and removed the setting, characters and actions.

We were left with the structure of the story. We then put in our own characters, setting, actions and substituted some of the language.
