IntroductionThis book of ‘Independent WritingActivities’ covers the genres for the9 to 10 year old age group. It hasbeen written to the UK NationalStrategy Primary Framework forLiteracy.
It contains at least two independentwriting activities for each genre typeand is an ideal vehicle for assessingpupil progress in writing when usedwith the different Levels found in theWriting Assessment Guidelines,which accompany the PrimaryFramework for Literacy. (Theappropriate levels for this age grouphave been reproduced under licenceat the beginning of this book.)
The author has also used thisapproach successfully with childrento embed the features of each genre.This was achieved by re-visiting apreviously studied genre later in theterm, so that the children practised itonce again. This ensured that thefeatures of that particular type ofwriting remained firmly embedded inthe children’s memory. Thus whenthe children were tested or came towrite in that particular genre at a laterdate it was not just a distant memory.
There are six similar books in thisseries covering the work of pupilsfrom Year 1 through to Year 6 (ages5 to 11). PDF or Download versionsare also available of these books foruse on Interactive Whiteboards.
Topical Resources publishes a range ofEducational Materials for use in PrimarySchools and Pre-School Nurseries andPlaygroups.

How the Lion Got His ManeThere were once two lion cubs, Tika (a girl) and Bruno (a boy). Their mother warnedthem not to go near the fuzzy wuzzy bush. If you did, the sticky fuzzy wuzzies wouldstick all over you and never come off.
Tika obeyed her mother. Bruno was more adventurous. He didn’t believe his mother’sstory, and went to see for himself. Well you can guess what happened – the fuzzywuzzies stuck to his head! No matter how much he rolled around they would not comeoff. That is how the lion got his mane!

Here is a poem using metaphors about James Bond.
He is a bar of dark chocolate,A smooth black cat’s coat,An exotic fruit cocktail,A silver Porsche disappearing into the distance.He is a plate of caviar,A blade on a knife,A frothy cappuccino,A piece of black silk.He is a midnight alarm,A tiger disguised as a pussycat,A jet plane,A perfect day.

Sports DayHere is a poem about running a race on sports day.
Heart beats,Body still,Legs stretched,Muscles tense.Gun fires,Race begins,Heart races,Body pounds.Someone passes,Throat is dry,Legs are moving,Onward on!Out in front,Must keep going,Finish in sight,Chest aches.Throat dry,One more push,Almost there,Opposition closer.End looms,Final burst,Without warning,It is over!
