Friday

I would like more help with...

Plot, setting and character

When describing character - show don't tell. E.g his heart was thumping and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He knew it was time.

Describing setting - use adjectives to help us visualise the place. The creeking gate made the old house seem even more spooky. It's broken windows, covered in dusty spiders webs meant no one had been here in a long time!

Use this to describe the following pictures in your groups

The plot

We are going to decide together what happens in each part of the story

One group will write one part of the story

We will read the story out at the end of the lesson

Parts of the plot

In your groups write down the numbers 1-5 in a list on your note paper.

Now decide what happens in the story

1 Introduction

234 Body paragraphs

5 Last paragraph

We are going to decide what the story will be about together!
