Children decide where the original idea for a favourite story came from. Children choose two characters each from a different story they have read. They write a short story telling about when these two characters met. Ask them to share their stories with the class. Think about the different types of writing and reading people do in one day.
Children gather examples and show their examples for each day of the week on a poster.
As a class, talk about the different feelings that a story can evoke. Read the story Poison Pen to the children. Build up a chart of the feelings expressed in the story. Hold a class or school Readathon. Children read as many books as they can over the course of a week and keep a log about each book they read.
