Creating a writing checklist

The students created a checklist of what a good script looks like.

Script writing checklist - created by G4 students

In my writing I have used ….

Punctuation
Capital letters / start sentence & names
Full stops / Question marks
Correct spelling
Vocabulary
Narrator uses time connectives - next, later
Characters speak with expression
Interesting, descriptive words (adjectives)
Present tense - script
Layout of writing
Title
Characters listed on top
Narrator describes the setting in intro comments
Beginning / intro, problem & solution
Interesting starting sentence - hook / sizzling start
Each character speaking is listed in left: Then what they are saying on right.
Unexpected events in story - to keep the reader interested. A twist
A good / exciting ending
Scenes in order

The Grade 4 students then went back to the scripts they wrote last week, ticked the sections they did well and noted the areas they need to improve.
