AC9EFLE05 · retell and adapt familiar literary texts
Learning focus: I can retell a familiar story in order and change part of it in a new version.
Model it: Worked example 2: adapt one part of the known story Keep Tama, the planting and the daily care. Change the final plant from a yellow flower to a tall bean vine. Keep: Tama plants and waters Change: yellow flower → tall bean vine New ending: Tama climbs beside the vine in play An adaptation changes a clear part but keeps enough of the original to be recognised. Tell listeners what stayed the same and what changed. The change can be shown through play, performance, images or writing.
Ask the learner: What is the main idea of retell and adapt familiar literary texts?
Look for: The learner can I can retell a familiar story in order and change part of it in a new version in a fresh example and explain the evidence or reasoning without copying the model.
If they are stuck: If the learner guesses or repeats a rule without evidence, return to the concrete or visual model and ask them to explain what each part shows.
