This resource bank is designed to support Year 3 students in their reading and learning of Neil Gaiman’s book, “The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish”. However, it can also be adapted for Year 4 students with additional objectives for adverbials and fronted adverbials. The materials provide a two-week plus sequence of activities, including PowerPoint presentations, differentiated worksheets, and other supporting materials. The sequence is designed to help students read and discuss the story, identify the different characters and their voices, and analyse the conventions of written dialogue and the use of speech marks (inverted commas). The resources also encourage students to write their missing scenes from the book and write a diary entry from the perspective of Dad. Finally, the sequence culminates in students using the cliffhanger at the end of the book to plan and write their sequel using the structure of the original story. Please note that no planning is included as it is largely drawn from the Literacy Company planning. The following objectives are covered: To write multi-clause sentences using because as a conjunction To understand the conventions of dialogue To punctuate direct speech To use apostrophes for possession and contraction To write a missing scene To write a diary entry To re-tell a story orally To plan a story based on the original plot To write the opening of a story To write the middle part of a story To write the ending of a story To evaluate, edit and improve my writing
