l Pause briefly before the final paragraph so your listeners know that the story is about to come to an end.
Peer Assessment
After you have read your story aloud, invite your listeners to tell you two things that you did well and one thing you might do better. This will help you to redraft your work.
Redrafting
After you have practised aloud, review the success criteria to check that you have met all the requirements. Make any necessary changes, and when you are happy with it you can read it aloud again, taking on board the suggestions for improvement that were made to you.
