FLIP THE GENRE CREATIVE WRITING LESSON

This is such a fun Creative Writing lesson! My Year 6 class loved it so much.

Read the original story to your class - they actually LOVE the original version no matter their age. My Year 6 children’s faces lit up when I read them the picture book.

You then tell them that they are going to FLIP THE GENRE and re-write the story in the form of a Newspaper Report.

Show them the example posted here of a rewritten story of The Three Little Pigs as a Newspaper Report.

I have INCLUDED a full break-down of how I achieved this which you should go through with the children so they can follow the model.

The children then have a go at writing their own using the model given here.

It really inspired my class and they were so motivated to write their Newspaper Reports.

I have other FLIP THE GENRE examples for sale.

I teach in a private school in London and run 11+ English tuition groups. Check out my website for more information.
