LO: To write using speech marks

 

Warm-up: Vocab ideas - idioms •   ‘Have mixed feelings’ – Be unsure of how you feel.

Main: Revisit the book ‘The Fossil Girl’ by Catherine Brighton on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OC6CWszKHDo   

Pause the video for some of the speech bubble pictures.  Who says what? How might they say it? (adverb and verb – quietly whispered, muttered softly, shouted loudly…) See the “said” alternative picture help sheet below to help. 

Watch this short video for speech punctuation lesson… https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zr6bxyc/articles/zhqh92p

Task:  Write the speech bubble conversations using speech marks for direct speech.  See sheet to convert – YOU choose how many you would like to do.  Read out loud, using different voices.
