In Literacy this week we have begun to learn about instructional writing. We have learnt the introduction to the text.
How to trap a Stone Giant
Are you kept awake at night by the sound of a
stone giant crunching rocks? If so, do not despair. Help is at hand. Stone
giants are dangerous and therefore must be defeated. Read these instructions
and soon you too will be rid of this terrible pest.
What you need: a magical spade, a brown sheet,
some leaves and sticks plus a large lump of tasty meat.
What you do:
First, dig a deep pit.
Next cover the pit with a brown sheet.
After that, scatter on the leaves and sticks.
Finally place the large lump of meat on top.
Now tiptoe behind a tree and wait.
In the end, the stone giant will not be able to
resist the temptation and will, therefore, fall into the pit.
A final note
of warning
Do not enter a stone giant’s cave as there may be
baby giants chewing on pebbles and they have BIG appetites.
To help learn the text orally, children should
draw their own mini washing lines or text maps. These may be annotated with
anything that causes problems and personalised to make it easier to remember.
