Main Outcomes:
Moon fact files and simple information writing
Overview and Outcomes:
Children are given books that they will make into information books to create Moon factfiles. This will be be based on the premise that they need to inform the two characters, Sidney and Stella about facts about the moon after they have replaced the moon with cheese. Further sessions may be needed for writing up more sections of the book and illustrating the book if desired. It would be good if they were then presented or sent to Stella and Sidney with a covering letter that would be part of a piece of shared writing done by the class. The fact files would then be returned with another letter thanking them for their expertise.
