planning for writing - 5 mn? strategies?
what are your tips please for effective planning? my DS dislikes spending much time...just puts 3 things and prefers to start writing straight away, but then a lot of ideas are repeated in his writing, he gets carried away an loses the point in his writing...please help with your strategies
Re: planning for writing - 5 mn? strategies?
Get him to write one thing in that 5 mins.
eg a brilliant starting paragraph, a description of a character, a setting
Provide a starting sentence and get him to carry on.

Not 5 minutes, more for planning stories, but a friend brought this back from a training.
Get him to look at well known stories eg The Billy Goats Gruff. Break it down into 5 stages, one for each finger on his hand.
Use that structure, one scene/event for each finger , then use your hand to keep reminding you of the structure of your story
You wiil need to spend a bit of timevloking at good stories, but they all have the same basic structure ehich he can adapt.
