CREATE A STORY
a unit by Amy Williamson
Exploring Stories
Within this page you will explore 5 different imaginative texts. We will be focusing on what happens in the story and how the character changes from the beginning of the story to the end. We will learn to write a character description and how to plan for writing an imaginative text.
Listen to the story......
Below, you will find a video of each book. Listen carefully to the story to get to know the main character and what they are like, discover words that decribe them. Think of what do the look like (use the pictures for clues), what are they doing (their actions), and what are their character traits (what might they be feeling or what is their personaility like).
Think about how the author writes the beginning, the middle and the end of the story.
