Your task is to write a short story about what happens next. Use these questions to help you:

Start writing from this point. It doesn’t need to be a long piece of writing, but use the writing features that we would expect to see.

On the next couple of slides there is the Description tool kit and Everyday toolkit to which you can refer to.

Treat this task as an opportunity to write a complete story in one go. It’s a short story so focus on going through the different parts – a problem resolution and ending – or structure it how you wish. You could write with a flashback starter if you want a challenge.

Description Toolkit

To create a description that the reader can imagine and will help your story sound real you might want to:

‘Show’ not ‘tell’ – describe a character’s emotions using senses or a setting to create an atmosphere e.g. The shadow darted forwards. Her skin crawled!

Select powerful, precise and well-chosen nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs that really match e.g. rusted, overgrown, smeared, smothered

Use personification e.g. the bushes seemed like they were holding their breath Use metaphors and similes to create atmosphere e.g. even the tables froze Use alliteration to add to the effect e.g. Sally slept silently. The damp, dark, dangerous wood…

Use expanded noun phrases to add intriguing detail e.g. The shaggy dog at the end of the lane begged on all fours.

Use a character’s reaction or the author’s comments to show the effect of a description e.g. Joanna shuddered.

Use onomatopoeia rather than alliteration to reflect meaning e.g. The bees buzzed busily.

Ensure all word choices earn their place and add something new and necessary e.g. not the red letterbox but the rusted letterbox

Use precise detail when describing to bring a scene alive e.g. His gold fob watch glinted.

Select detail and describe for a purpose e.g. to scare the reader, to lull the reader.

Year 6 Everyday Toolkit:

•Every sentence must have: capital letter, subject, verb and correct end punctuation (. ? ! …)

•Proper nouns have capital letters.•Joined, neat handwriting.

•Each sentence written in the correct tense e.g. (past, present, future).

•Writing is organised into clear paragraphs.•A range of sentence types and structures have

been used to engage the reader.•All punctuation has been used correctly.•Spelling has been checked and is correct.

Inquiry ProjectCreate a storyboard for your own myth!

A storyboard is a graphic representation of how your story will unfold, section by

section. It's made up of a number of squares with illustrations or pictures representing each main part

of a story. Usually, there are notes about what's going on in the section and what's being said in the

script during that part.

You need to consider:

Who is your main character? What does s/he look like? What are they trying to achieve?

Where is the setting? Has the character got to travel somewhere to find something? What will the

environment be like?

What goes wrong in the story? Will the main character have to fight a vicious beast or crafty villain?

How does the main character solve the problem and save the day? How does the story finish?

On the next page, you will see a teacher’s example. Use it to help your own.

An empty storyboard template is on the page after. You can print this off or draw your own on a

piece of paper or in your Home Learning book!

This is your Inquiry learning for the whole week so you can work at your own pace.
