We are learning to create an interesting setting for our story.
I can use features specific to an imaginative story:
– exciting vocabulary in my story to engage the reader.
– adjectives to describe the setting.
– Calder House as a setting for my story.

– I can use paragraphs to organise my writing.
– I can use past tense.

As part of their IDL context for learning P7 are exploring Mid Calder. They were set the challenge to write a mystery story set in Calder House. First of all they researched Calder House and completed their plan. We then discussed different types of adjectives and vocabulary we would use to describe the house. Next they looked at an example on the board and assessed it using the Success Criteria. After that they wrote their mystery stories and self assessed them.
