This resource includes a short story that models the use of some excellent vocabulary and accompanying worksheets.

The story about two friends stuck out at sea will captivate your learners. Three differentiated versions of the story are included. Each version increases in word count and vocabulary complexity. The texts not only tell a thrilling story but also provide many examples of interesting vocabulary for Year 6 students—for example, personification, idioms and imagery.

The resource includes an accompanying worksheet for students to pick out vocabulary words from the text and study their type, meaning, and purpose. There are two differentiated versions of the worksheet. One has some tick-box prompts and requires less writing, and the other is blank.

The story is available to print in colour or black and white.  Perfect for integration with Talk 4 Writing and other classroom literacy programs!
