=__//What First? Fantasy Narrative//__=

//Using ICT, of their choice, students produce a fantasy narrative to be shared with primary school students. Students create hyperlinked puzzles and use graphic organisers to show their prior knowledge. Wikispace is a web-resource that will support the development of the strategies for writing (including note-making, using models, planning, editing and proofreading) "What First?" reminds the students of the benefits of planning which through reflective blog writing they are encouraged to discover. After anaylsing the structure and genre of fantasy narratives students present an oral fantasy narrative review will help students to show their understanding of the narrative structure. Students will assess their peers oral presentation. A visit to the cinemas or watching a fantasy film after the stories have been shared with the primary audience. fantasynarrative.wikispaces.com gives staff and students to access the rubrics, checklists, templates and activities for this project.
