Learning intention: We are learning to consider different points of view.

We will be successful if we can: Discuss the thoughts and feelings different people have for the same event.

The focus today is on considering why characters experiencing the same event acted differently. The questions today will help you to consider why each character acted the way they did, and what emotion was behind their actions.

Warm Up: Handwriting

Handwriting template - Wednesday

Today we are aiming to publish our historical recount. Once again, if you haven’t self-edited your draft, please do this first.

Step 1: Use your self-edited recount to begin your published piece.

This published piece will become your ‘script’, so ensure it is both neat & that you have used a large enough font to be able to read it from a distance.

**This is a perfect opportunity to put your amazing and refined handwriting into practise!

Step 2: Once you are happy with your published piece, a final check is required.

Please reread your writing, to ensure it is all correct.

Step 3: Upload your completed published piece to Google Classroom
