Tuesday - by David Wiesner

This week in literacy we are going to be using a piece of visual literacy called 'Tuesday' by author David Wiesner. This story is a picture book with lots of opportunities for super description and imaginative ideas.

We will be: developing description, thinking of questions to ask the characters, having a go at some hot seating, making our own versions of the story with an animal of our choice to replace the frogs and thinking about the characters speech.

You can watch the story here and start thinking about your own ideas!! Please leave a comment to let me know your initial ideas and opinions!! What happens every Tuesday evening around 8 O' Clock?
