Big Writing - w/b Monday 2nd November

 

For our Big Writing after half term, we are going to be writing a character description of Mr Twit, from Roald Dahl’s ‘The Twits’.  http://tinyurl.com/gm6vxvh

It would be useful if you could discuss the following with your child in preparation for Big Writing:

• Discuss and practise using the word of the week, pungent.
• Use positional openers to describe where things are on the character’s body (Tucked under his hat... Nestled in his beard...)
• Think of wow words to describe what Mr Twit looks like, as well as what he is like as a person. 
• Practise using connectives such as ‘despite’, ‘meanwhile’, ‘although’ and ‘however’.
• Think about your opinion of Mr Twit and what Mrs Twit’s opinion of him might be.

 

Anything that children bring in before Friday can be used to assist with Big Writing.

Thank you.
