A simple and easy to use worksheet to support children in learning compound words.

This lesson stems from the Literacy Shed Three Little Pigs video, looking at the alternative viewpoints of the classic tale. It begins by watching the video and then discussing the different points of view of the story with a debate and some hot seat role play. The children then go on to analyse a WAGOLL to create a checklist and finally create their own article. This lesson comes with supportive material and an optional extension task. The lesson is aimed at Upper KS2, however I have also delivered it to Lower KS2, with great success. The children really enjoyed the debate and created some very imaginative and impressive pieces of writing.
