Resource Collection WAGOLL: text types writing packs
Explore playscripts with this text types resource pack for year 3 and year 4. Pupils will read the model play script, a scene from Jack and the Beanstalk, showing WAGOLL (what a good one looks like); and write their own play scripts, either continuing Jack and the Beanstalk, or using their knowledge of traditional tales to create scenes for another story that they are familiar with. They will use the model text to identify grammar and punctuation used which includes the use of adverbs and the present tense in stage directions. These can then be applied in their own writing.
A playscript is written for actors to perform on the stage. The dialogue that characters must say is written with stage directions that direct how the dialogue should be said and how the characters should move and act on stage.

There are also opportunities to explore the following objective: Pupils should be taught to use and punctuate direct speech
