Writing – Narrative/Imaginative genre

Write a story surrounding the character you created yesterday and write a creative story where they get up to mischief in school.

Think about your genre targets as you write

• Understand the audience and that the purpose of your writing is to entertain.
• Include a detailed opening to catch the readers interest and make them want to read further.
• With detail, describe the setting and characters ( physical and emotional description)
• Use dialogue ( direct speech) to develop the storyline

WORD WIZARDS @SUPER SPELLERS only

• Include a cliffhanger, if appropriate.
• Descriptive language to create images in the readers mind and enhance the story.
• End the story with a satisfactory/appropriate conclusion.

Core Writing targets

• Spell all commonly used words correctly by applying prior knowledge of spelling rules and strategies.
• Spell less commonly used and topic specific words correctly.
• Use a wide range of punctuation.
• Use more complex sentence structures. – e.g. vary sentence starters.
• Use paragraphs to separate ideas/events.
• Use a wide variety of conjunctions/connectives to link ideas and joined sentences.
• Proof read and edit writing.
• Use linked, legible handwriting to present work attractively using appropriate forms of layout.

Listen again to the video interview with Michael Rosen and the author of Horrid Henry.

This should help you understand what makes an inspiring story.

Now watch this video to help you understand how to create an interesting setting: what is a setting

Now you must think about bringing your story alive for your reader by using descriptive language.

This video will help you understand how important using describing words are. Also how important it is to use similes and onomatopoeia ( remember we learned about these just before we broke up from school): descriptive language

I hope this is helpful to you as it is really tricky for a teacher to teach a writing lesson this way without hearing all your wonderful ideas and writing them beside you. 🙁

Word Wizards and Super spellers I will be looking for you to write at least 4 paragraphs with longer paragraphs in paragraph 2 and 3 where you will develop the plot.

Rapid Readers I will be looking for you to write 3 paragraphs with a beginning, middle and end.

Here are some word banks of adjectives to help you write creatively: t2-e-012-adjective-word-mat-_ver_1

Here is also a planning page to help you organise your writing: t2-e-088-story-planning-frame_ver_1

Enjoy your writing and remember to read back over each sentence as you write to check you are reaching your core writing targets.  Once you complete your writing, proof read and edit any mistakes.
