Writing a Spooky Story

Well done to Sophia who has sent in her spooky story.

It is a brilliant story. 

Friday 24th April

Good morning Everyone! 

(Mrs Davies)

Here's the final part of the Spooky Story. Today we are working on three sections: Who Helps, Where Last and Feelings.

Again, you can just work through the Powerpoint below and note your sentences down on a piece of paper. If you do want to print out the worksheet then you can, but again it is not needed.

When you have completed the story, I'd really love for you to email your completed work to slb@anglesey.bham.sch.uk

Well done everyone, you have worked really hard on this story this week!

Next week:

Why not try and write your own story? Try and break your story up into sections:

Who- introduce your main character

Where- explain where they live

Where Next- Take your character to a new place

Problem- what happens there? This is the really exciting part!

Who helps- explain how your character is helped 

Where Last- Where does your character go at the end?

Feelings- How does your character feel at the end of the story?

Also, try and use the different sentence types and skills we have done this week:

Adj, adj

List sentence

Emotion, 

Emotion and emotion, 

Verb opening

Adverb opening

Senses

Change of Pace opening

Good luck! I can't wait to see your stories!

Good morning everyone!

Here's the next part of the Spooky Story. You will prepare the next paragraph in your story and use some more exciting sentence types and skills.

This week I (Mrs Davies) will be posting daily activities to help you to create a spooky story! 

To start with I have posted a PowerPoint for you to work through looking back at 3 exciting sentence types we will be using:

Adj, adj sentences

List sentences

Emotion, sentences

You do not need to print out the PowerPoint, just grab a piece of paper and pen or pencil. Then work through the slides to create some exciting sentences.

Tomorrow I will post the next activity where you will be using these sentence types, so practice them today to get a good idea of what you will need to do on Tuesday!
