Teaching Ideas via The Literacy Shed
- Describe the opening scenes.
- Describe the journey, what the girl could see as they went along, perhaps one of the other passengers.
- Write a newspaper report detailing what happened, maybe the driver thought everyone was off, the tram went over and they found the girl the next day amongst the wreckage.
- Write a conversation between the girl and the person she meets at the end.
- Write a first person account of the accident from the girls point of view,she could be sending a message from heaven.
ALL CREDIT GOES TO THE LITERACY SHED/ OWNERSHIP. CHECK IT OUT HERE; a fantastic resource for all early years/ English teachers.
Another visual stimulus to help pupils create a setting for their creative writing - especially mood in this instance, too.
