LI: To write the beginning of your story
Task:
Use the opening and build up from your story map, to write the beginning of your own version of ‘For the
Birds’.
Teacher Example:
Across the countryside, stretching as far as the eye could see, the cables carrying energy to the people
weaved their way from post to post. Determinedly, the irritable big-headed bird flew down and landed in
the middle of his favourite stretch. Contentedly, he ruffled his soft, blue feather and shut his enormous,
bulbous eyes, enjoying the silence. Suddenly the cable dipped. He could feel the weight of an equally
plump-bellied feathered bird landing haphazardly next to him.
“Hiya!” His new associate yawned contentedly.
“Go away! Get out of my space!” The arrogant, grumpy bird squawked, as he pecked his companion
angrily on the foot.

LI: To write the middle of your story
Task:
Use the problem from your story map to write the problem of the story.
Teacher Example:
Despite their protesting and angry squawks, the large bird with the soft blue feathers and long, wiry legs
leapt off his perch and flapped very ungracefully towards the cable.
“No! Get off you vast heffalump!” one squealed.
“Go away! You are far too huge!” Another yelped.
“Small birds only. SMALL BIRDS ONLY!” A tiny one in the middle cried.
Suddenly, the cable dropped like a piece of elastic and without warning all the birds slide into one
another.
“I’m having none of this!” The grumpy and arrogant bird who had been the first to spot the cable muttered
angrily to himself. Without warning, he started to peck at the larger birds surprisingly delicate feet with his
sharp, pointy beak.
“Ow! I am losing my grip. Ow ow ow that hurts. Why are you so mean?”
Toe by toe the kindly, shy and now quite miserable bird lost his grip and fell from the cable and drifted to
the ground where he landed with a gentle bump. Above him the cable sprang into action.
Success Criteria
1. Read the notes that you made on your story for the problem.
2. Use these to write the middle to your story.
3. Include expanded noun phrases, conjunctions, correct use of full stops and capital letters.

LI: To write the end of your story Task:
Use the resolution and ending from your story map to write the resolution and ending to your story.
Teacher Example:
Gazing up at the bright, blue sky, the big blue bird held his breath. He seemed to be caught in a storm. A
flurry of feathers was falling soundlessly to the floor. Bump! Next to him fell his chief tormentor. But he
looked completely different. His pink, smooth skin looked very peculiar. He had lost his beautiful azure
coloured feathers. He looked at his tormentor and laughed so hard his big, plumb belly ached!
“Why are you laughing at me?” The small, now naked bird asked.
Before he could answer, thump thump thump. All the others fell to the floor. The original bird gazed
around, a horrified realisation spread across his face,
“You’re naked!!” The big bird laughed!!
“Ahhhh!” The small birds screamed.
Success Criteria
1. Read the notes that you made on your story for the ending.
2. Use these to write the ending to your story.
