LC: To discuss and record ideas for planning.

Yesterday, we completed the plans for our first four verses.

Today, we will do the remainder of the plan.

We will first begin with Verse 5. Let's take a look back at what's happening in the poem for Verse 5 and take some ideas:

The spider turned him round about, and went into his den,
For well he knew the silly fly would soon be back again:
So he wove a subtle web, in a little corner sly,
And set his table ready to dine upon the fly.
Then he came out to his door again, and merrily did sing,
"Come hither, hither, pretty fly, with the pearl and silver wing:
Your robes are green and purple; there's a crest upon your head;
Your eyes are like the diamond bright, but mine are dull as lead.

Take a look at the words highlighted in pink. You might want to change these words.

Write down your new ideas into your plan in the first box only.

Verse 6:

Alas, alas! How very soon this silly little fly,
Hearing his wily flattering words, came slowly flitting by. 
With buzzing wings she hung aloft, then near and nearer drew,
Thinking only of her crested head - POOR FOOLISH THING! At last,
Up jumped the cunning spider, and fiercely held her fast.
He dragged her up his winding stair, into his dismal den,
Within his little parlour; but she ne'er came out again.

Select the words that you would like to change and add them in to the next box on your planning sheet.

Verse 7:

And now, dear little children, who may this story read,
To idle, silly, flattering words, I pray you ne'er give heed;
Unto an evil counsellor close heart, and ear, and eye,
And take a lesson from this tale of the Spider and the Fly.

Select the words that you would like to change and add them to your final box.

Ivan tried to go faster but the snow sucked at his boots, making him stumble. He looked back, sobbing. His footprints wound away between the trees and somewhere back there, he knew, the wolves were running in his tracks with their noses down to smell him out.

R - Where are the wolves?

I - What does the word sobbing mean?

C - How can the wolves find Ivan?

LC: To infer characters thoughts from their actions.

Yesterday, we had a look at inferring what characters might be thinking. Remember not to get confused with what you think a character might be feeling.

Feelings are like being sad, happy, excited, scared, anxious or worried. We are not looking at feelings.

We are concentrating on thoughts.

Let's take a look at this short text.

The school day began at 9am for Leanne. She was excited to go on a trip but her mum would always drop her off late to school. On the day of the school trip, the coaches were set to leave the school at 9am. Leanne was getting late.

We can tell that Leanne must be feeling worried, but what do you think she might be thinking?

Leanne must be thinking that...

Your teacher will now play you a clip, you are going to watch it up to 0.31 seconds.
