paragraphs. You must plan your writing first but it is up to you how you do
your planning.  You must also write a fourth paragraph about your experience
of practising and performing your play.

semi-colons ; , and parentheses ().


Success Criteria
I will be successful when I can/have
-summarised the play in three paragraphs

Once you have finished your writing highlight these success criteria green if you

The First part of this story, Mother pig thought it was time her sons Bill,
Ben and Bert  found their own home; so they did. They went off and built
their houses. Bill made his house out of straw, Ben built his house out of
sticks and Bert made his out of Bricks.


In the second part of the story, when Bill was relaxing at his straw
house someone knocked on the door; it was the wolf. ‘Little pig Little pig l
et me in,” said the wolf.  “No! Not by the hair on my chinny chin, chin!” said Bill.
“Then I’ll huff and puff and blow our house down,” said the wolf and with a big
gust of wind the house fell down. As fast as he could Bill ran to Ben's house
but the same thing happened; the wolf blew the house down.


At the end of the story,  the three brothers were all in the brick house. The
wolf says, “Little pigs, little pigs let me in.”  “No not by the hair on our chinny
chin chins,” said the brothers. “Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff and blow your house
down,” said the wolf, but he couldn’t. He tried his very best but he couldn’t blow
it down. The brothers huddle in their house and heard the wolf say ,‘‘ I will climb
onto the roof and go down the chimney,’’. ‘‘What will we do’’ said Bill. But
Bert had a plan he got a pot and filled it with boiling water and put it at the
bottom of the chimney and the wolf fell into the pot. The wolf  jumped up as
fast as he could; Holding his bottom and the wolf ran out the door. The three
little pigs danced and laughed as the wolf ran away.

The End


I thought my group worked well together even though it took a while to get
focused at the start. We also did a very good job at having a special voices
for our characters. I liked that we found some music to use in our play. Next
time to get better we could try to know our lines without the script. Everyone
contributed by bringing some props. Everyone participated by having a part
in the play.
