Talk for Writing – Wishing Tales ✨

This term, Primary 7 have been focussing on Wishing Tales as part of Talk for Writing.

COLD TASK:

We have completed our own baseline assessment ‘cold task’ of writing a Wishing Tale with no input. We will then do our Hot Task assessment at the end of the unit and measure our progress.

IMITATION PHASE:

As part of the imitation phase we have been learning our model text ‘Hettie’s Unicorn’.

Ask your child why we learn a model text.

To help internalise the model text, we have been creating and performing actions, developing story maps using symbols and emojis and then re-writing the text from memory!

Check back soon to see our next phase – innovation!
