Note for tutor – Lesson Seven:
1. Lesson Seven combines reading for a purpose with Mathematics by asking the children to fill in a bar graph. The children are learning (or consolidating) how to use given information to make a bar graph. They are also learning why we use (bar) graphs and how to extract information from them.
2. Hint:
You may consider doing Numbers 10, 11 and 12 in another time slot in your time table – integrate with time allocated for writing and art. Children need time to produce results they (and you) can be proud of.
Good stories have a beginning, a middle and an end. Some children are inclined to ramble and often their story goes nowhere. To help them write their story it is a good idea to give each child a framework to work from.
The framework should be filled in with words and phrases and helps the child create the backbones of the story before he/she begins to write.
A (Simple) Narrative Framework has been included in this Pack. It can be used for this story or any other story a child is going to write.
This is how you use the Narrative Framework:
1. Discuss with the children the story they are going to write.
2. Words which will be common to all writers may be written on the board or a chart for future reference.
3. Model to the children how to use the Narrative Framework by telling them what you are thinking as
you fill in the three boxes.
4. Explain the ‘Story Title’ box may be filled before or after all the other boxes have been filled.
Show the children how to write the title of a story. Every word has a capital letter except the small words.
Look at books from around the room to see how the titles are written.
5. Give the children time to fill in the boxes.
Next Lesson:
6. Using the Narrative Framework you used as a model in the previous lesson show the children how you turn
the words and phrases (ideas) into sentences.
Think aloud as you model how to write one sentence at a time. Explain how the sentences develop the story.
If this is the first time the children have used a Narrative Framework keep your story (very) short. Children
easily lose the thread of a story if it is too long.
7. Give the children time to write their stories.
If a child finishes quickly she/he could illustrate her/his story and/or create a cover page which includes the
title and her/his name as the author and illustrator (if they have drawn a picture).
Staple the pages into a booklet. Children are proud of their work if it is made into a booklet.
Hint: It is difficult for every child in the class to finish his/her story in the given time. The children who
do not complete their story/illustration in the given time may be happy to finish it at home.
