Writing ideas

Write a book review for your favourite book or the last book you have read. Why don’t you type it up and ask a parent to post it on Amazon to help other children decide if they want to buy the book?

Choose your favourite book; write a diary entry from one of the main characters.

Write a letter to your favourite author explaining why you love their work. Why don’t you ask an adult to put it in an envelope ready to post to the author at a later date.

Write a dilemma story about a subject of your choosing. Use the planning sheet on the page below to help you!

Write a daily diary entry, detailing what you have done and how you have felt.

Write a debate about a subject that you are interested in. Some ideas are listed below. Be sure to consider both sides of the argument before giving your opinion in the concluding paragraph!

- Should children have to wear uniform to school?- Should children be given homework?- Who is better at football, Ronaldo or Messi?- PlayStation or Xbox, which is better? - Cats or dogs? - Does having more things make us happier? - Is it our job to look after the environment? - Should hunting be allowed? - Should all zoo animals be released back into the wild?
