Learn about writing

Writing

In this period you are going to learn how to write a fairy tale yourself. 

LOOK AT THE THREE PICTURES

WRITE THE STORY SHOWN IN THE PICTURES

WRITE 35 WORDS OR MORE

STEP 1

LOOK AT THE PICTURES AND THINK ABOUT THE VOCABULARY THAT WE CONNECT TO THE IMAGE.

Step 2

Structure of a story:

Picture 1 = Beginning

Picture 2 = Middle

Picture 3 = End

•    Beginning: man got up and yawned, favourite pyjamas
•    Middle: was very hungry, opened the fridge, fridge empty, man was sad

•    End: had to go to a cafe, bought breakfast

Put your ideas into this structure and you are ready to draft.

Step 3; write a draft.

Important

1.  Give your story a title (Breakfast problems).
2. Use past simple because most stories are in the past.
3. Use some linking words to connect your ideas, for example, but, and, because, so, in the end, etc.

Step 4

Check for mistakes (spelling, grammar)

Does your story have a title?

 Did you use some linking words?

An example

Breakfast problems

Phill got up very late and yawned. He was wearing his favourite pyjama because it was his birthday.
He was very hungry and opened the fridge, but it was empty and Phill felt sad.
In the end, he had to go to a cafe and buy some food. He bought eggs on toast and ate his breakfast alone. What a birthday!
