Reasoning

Children will compare texts and give evidence for the opinions they form

Evaluation

As they learn about features of an author's style, children will become better equipped to make judgements about the type of books they enjoy reading.

Social skills

Children participate in a collaborative group activity. They will learn about taking turns, listening to others and reaching agreement.

Communication

Children will develop their ability to discuss as they work collaboratively in paired, group and whole-class contexts. They will communicate outcomes orally, in writing and through ICT if appropriate.
