Session 13

Focus objective

  • To show a character's feelings by writing in role

Key teaching approaches

  • Discussion
  • Modelled, shared and guided writing
  • Individual writing

Discuss with the class what Jim would have liked to have told Shrimps about what they could do together in the future to be like 'bruvvers' and what he could tell him that would 'make his ears tingle'. Through modelled, shared and guided writing, write the letter to Shrimps that Jim would have written (if he could write!), showing how he feels about him.
