Y4 Autumn Fiction: Aesop’s fablesUnit 2SPAG: Writing dialogue using correct punctuationTeacher notesEssential textAesop's Fables [Hardcover] by Michael Rosen (Author), Publisher: Tradewind (13 Jun 2013) ISBN-10: 1896580815, ISBN-13: 9781896580814The Hare and the Tortoise Hamilton Group Reader HYPERLINK "" will need the PowerPoint presentation Dialogue PunctuationIt is important to look at this in advance and then go through it in two sessions (Days 2 and 3) with the children. You will need the jokes for childrenWebsites:Jokes for children SCROLL DOWN FOR TEACHING AND ACTIVITIESY4 Autumn Fictions: Aesop’s fables Unit 2 Day 1Grammar: Role play dialogue between two fable characters Teaching Reread 'Wolf and Lamb', from Aesop's Fables. Agree that all of Wolf's excuses for being angry with Lamb were false: he was looking for a reason to eat Lamb. What other excuses could he have made up? Ask children to think of ideas with a talk partner, then rehearse these, saying them in role. What would Wolf say? How could Lamb respond? Take ideas, acted out and spoken in role. Point out that we can record dialogue in speech bubbles and check that children know how these work. Can children make Lamb's crime seem even worse? Display the example of dialogue development ideas (see resources) and ask children to act out the bubbles with their partner adding appropriate expression. Explain that they will be developing this discussion through drama. Activity: Role play dialogue between two fable characters Objectives: Composition: a. compose sentences orally, progressively building a varied and rich vocabulary and an increasing range of sentence structures Spoken Language: f. maintain attention and participate actively in collaborative conversations, staying on topic and initiating and responding to comments g. use spoken language to develop understanding through speculating, hypothesising, imagining and exploring ideas k. consider and evaluate different viewpoints, attending to and building on the contributions of others d. articulate & justify answers, arguments and opinionsYou will need: Dialogue sheet (see resources) plus copies of Wolf and Lamb retold by Michael Rosen. The Example of Developing Dialogue sheet may also be useful (resources). Children work in pairs ActivityPART ONE Working with a similar ability talk-partner, children create a dialogue between Wolf and Lamb, Wolf making accusations against Lamb/ Lamb refuting blame. They rehearse a series of remarks between the characters, developing ideas through role-play. Remind children to choose powerful language and to use extended sentences. They record ideas checking that each remark builds on the one before. PART TWO Ask children to record dialogue rehearsed during role-play. EASY/MEDIUM: Work with partner to record rehearsed dialogue using speech bubbles. Some children may use Dialogue sheet (see resources). Edit for powerful language choice.HARD: Record dialogue in books. Encourage children to write W and L to avoid time wasted drawing characters; some may prefer to record as punctuated speech rather than in bubbles. Edit for powerful language and extend sentences. Challenge them to note the type of voice they used to say each piece of dialogue, e.g. loud and cross, quiet and nervous. Plenary: Ask for volunteers to perform their role-plays. Have they chosen powerful language to argue Wolf's point of view that he has been injured by Lamb? Has Lamb given good reasons for why that is not true? Do conversations stay on track, responding to previous comments?OutcomesI can create an interesting dialogue using role-play techniques. I can record dialogue in speech bubbles. ,Y4 Autumn Fiction: Aesop’s fables Unit 2 Day 2Grammar: Write dialogue between two fable characters Teaching Share and display Dialogue punctuation PowerPoint (see resources). Go through this up to and including Slide 8. Allow children time to do the exercise on Slide 3 and take feedback. Check children’s work. Discuss how we might come up with some speech-punctuation rules? Take suggestions and, on the board, start a list of Rules for writing dialogue. Use your own judgement as to which rules to include. Display class-created rules for reference, put in order of priority (see resources for Teacher Support Sheet - dialogue rules).Explain that children will be writing the speech they wrote yesterday as correctly punctuated dialogue. (Hard group will write new dialogue between the hare and the tortoise.) Activity: Write correctly punctuated dialogueObjectives: Grammar: Indicate grammatical and other features by:c. using and punctuating direct speechYou will need: The Teacher Support Sheet: Dialogue rules may be useful (resources). Children work in threes or foursActivityChildren re-read dialogue written yesterday with their talk partner, annotating to add reporting clauses and rewriting as punctuated prose.EASY: ADULT LED: Support to re-read and expand original speech bubble work. Children record dialogue with speech marks. MEDIUM: Apply rules to rewrite and expand their dialogue using correct punctuation.HARD: Children write new dialogue between the tortoise and the hare, using correct punctuation and making the dialogue as humorous as possible. Plenary Go down the rules they wrote earlier on the board. Ask children to check that each piece of dialogue is 'hugged' by speech marks and that the other rules are obeyed! OutcomesI can use correct speech punctuation when writing dialogue.Y4 Autumn Fiction: Aesop’s fables Unit 2 Day 3Grammar: Write extended dialogue Teaching Share and once again display Dialogue punctuation PowerPoint (see resources). Start at Slide 9. Allow children time on each slide to say where the next line break will come, then click through to the next slide to see if they were correct. On slide 19, give children time to work in pairs to spot the mistakes. Revisit the class rules on punctuating dialogue. Theatrically, start a knock-knock joke, prompting children to join in (see Teacher notes for joke websites). Record the joke as you told it, complete with reporting clauses and correct punctuation. Allocate a point for each rule followed: how did you score? Ask children to practise correctly punctuating A Knock-Knock Joke (see resources) with a partner on whiteboards. How have they scored? Leave dialogue punctuation rules displayed for children to refer to. Activity: Write correctly punctuated dialogueObjectives: Grammar: Indicate grammatical and other features by:c. using and punctuating direct speechYou will need: Copies of the Two Speaker Jokes sheet and also the Teacher Support Sheet: Punctuating dialogue when interrupted by a reporting clause. See resources for both. Children work individuallyActivityChildren choose and write jokes, using speech punctuation, applying rules from the list - aiming to score the highest points for each joke. They may find it helpful to add punctuation and reporting clauses onto the actual jokes before writing them out in their books.EASY: Provide with copies of shorter jokes; children highlight dialogue to check speech marks.MEDIUM: Challenge to get the maximum score with each joke, circling each point-scoring feature to justify score.HARD: ADULT LED: Challenge to interrupt speech sentences with a reporting clause (see resources for support sheet) and explore effect on punctuation (avoid knock-knock jokes). Ask children to circle each point-scoring feature. Plenary Ask children how they scored. Return to joke recorded at the start of the session. Can children think of better words than said? Edit to improve; it is not always necessary to avoid 'said' but can be useful to give reader more information.
