Write An Imaginary Interview With An Animal (7-11 years)

These pages help with lesson planning and provide writing prompts, to write an interview between animals. Discuss with the children, ‘if animals could talk, what would they say’. Then, as a follow up activity, the children can think of two animals they know of and write down an imaginary conversation between them. The children can then draw a picture of their animals.

This lesson will take approximately 1 hour.

This resource is featured in the book ‘We Love Animals: Get Going With Creative Writing’ series.

This series provides prompts to encourage children to write. It provides starting points, to encourage even the most reluctant writers.

Written in a lively magazine style format, each pack provides a step by step guide to teach children how to plan and write an animal themed story.
The packs also provide starting points to write e-mails, letters, play scripts, diaries, reports and other non fiction texts.

The child will learn writing techniques; simple, compound and complex sentences, connectives and spelling, punctuation and grammar tips. There is an emphasis on improving vocabulary – looking at lots of better word choices: harder adjectives, more powerful verbs and adverbs.

This series is recommended for use with children between the ages of 7-11. The packs will also benefit children with special needs, or where English is a second language.
