EXPLORING THE GRUFFALO - IDEA 9 - ORALLY PLANNING OUR OWN GRUFFALO STORYHere's idea 9 in the series linked to the Gruffalo. After learners have created images to structure their own story, they can now orally plan their story before they put pen to paper. This can be an incredibly powerful way to support learners with their writing by having their ideas recorded orally so when they write, their focus can be on structure; capital letters, full stops, handwriting etc.
