Story writing - bosing up The Serpent King

In class we learnt The Serpent King traditional tale through images and actions.  The idea behind this is that we use the structure of a well written traditional tale to write our own.  Children also learn how sentences are structured well and follow that structure in their own writing.  They have also learnt some new vocabulary and how to use it effectively.  ´Boxing Up´is a method of children taking the story and deconstructing the sentences so they can use it for their text.
