Ask the Witch
Hot seat the witch. Ask questions that will inform your letter writing, such as: Ask her what she can do for you. How can she do this? When can she do it? Where can she do it? What will be the consequences? Remember, you are in the role of Hansel and Gretel's stepmother, Mrs Schnitzel, who will be writing a letter to the witch to ask for her help to get rid of her stepchildren. You will be using this information in your letter planning in this lesson.
