Writing
Today’s task involves you planning a portal story. In fact you’ll be asked to briefly plan two or three stories . Tomorrow you will need to choose one of your plans which you will use to start writing a story. Today we are just planning stories.
Top tips for story writing:
• Start in a world/a setting that you know well – it is far easier to describe
something familiar to you, e.g. a garden, your school, your local town, etc.
• Use a stimulus (e.g. picture) for the new world – an image will help you
focus in on the detail and describe what is there.
• Let your ideas flow – don’t worry about spelling, handwriting or
presentation … you can go back and edit this later.
Here are a couple of ideas to open your mind to the world of possibility:
