Become a Young Author!

Homework this week is for you to write an adventure story based around your trip on Monday. You make the story up. It does not need to be true. Hopefully something you heard about, saw or learned will have created a sprark in your imgination and you will be able to write about the setting, have interesting characters and an exciting plot!

In an adventure story you must follow these steps:

1. It’s a normal day for your characters – this opening paragraph gives you a chance to let the reader know about the characters, where and when they live.

2. Something unusual and unexpected happens and your characters have to react and come up with a plan to save the day!

3. Your characters then put the plan into action and the adventure begins. (They will probably have to deal with baddies!!)

4. The adventure comes to a conclusion and you have to decide whether or not to have a happy ending!

Good luck!!

PS – Read your comments – some of you will have messages from a school in Shetland that I’ve made a link with so the kids there will be looking forward to reading your stories too!

  1. I’m hoping that you will be able to make use of some of the information you learned on Monday and have a personal response to the place. What you then do with that is up to you….that’s where your imagination comes in. It could be a ghost story or a romance; a crime story or a horror story….it’s up to you.

  2. I asked my mum if she got an E-mail and she told to check and there was’nt any that had links to people’s blogs,what is the subject?

  3. Hi Anna, I sent the email to you not your mum!!! So:
    1. Go to this site http://www.education.ea.argyll-bute.sch.uk/
    2. Click on primary email (you’ve done this before)
    3. Put in your username ec075c3
    4. Put in your password 43045919
    5. Then you should see my email with the links
    6. Drag the links onto your desktop!

    Simples!

  4. Your homework sounds like a very creative writing exercise! I like the fact that it doesn’t need to be true – I’m really looking forward to reading some of your exciting adventure stories. I hope Mrs Johnson can put them on your blog.
