Use this Year 1 Whatever Next! Writing Frame for children to write their own retelling of their story. Pupils may want to write out a first draft in their books and use this writing frame for a final copy to be proudly presented on the wall. Encourage children to use all the ideas, vocabulary and editing techniques they have learnt to produce a high-quality piece of writing.

The teaching PowerPoint for this writing unit also provides a blank writing frame for you to model writing techniques and what a writer’s thought process might be. It could also be where you do a shared write to guide and inspire writers.
