Listen to the story ‘Flat Stanley’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzUKcbkbww0
Stanley is as flat as a pancake. He went on an adventure and posted himself to America to visit his friend. Imagine you were flat, what adventure would you go on?
Write an imaginative story titled ‘Flat ______’ e.g. Flat Olly. Remember to use what you learned yesterday about paragraphs and include descriptive vocabulary to add plenty of detail. Use these questions to help you but remember….this is a story, so there must be flow, we do not want it to read as if you are answering questions.
WHO is the character, what do they look like, what is their personality like?
WHEN does the adventure take place?
WHERE is the character? where is the adventure to, remembering to use your senses to set the scene.
WHY do you decide to go on an adventure?
WHAT happens on the adventure? remember to build your story up the mountain to the peak and to the problem.
HOW do you overcome the problem?
WHAT happens at the end?
