Year 4 Creative Writing - The First 15 lines of a Short Story



L.O. To understand that the first 1/2 page of a short story needs an exciting opening, a description of the location, dialogue and a description of one of the characters.

We have been learning about how to organise - structure - our ideas. A short story isn't a book - you've only got one-and-a-half sides of A4, so we are learning the most effective way to organise our ideas (we'll mess with this structure once we know it like the back of our hands). You can learn lots more about story structure by clicking here.

Try not to wait for me to tell you what to learn next - use baldworm.co.uk to learn all about 'skills' and 'story structure'

Homework:
Write the first 15 lines of an 'Escape' story. Make sure you follow our story structure.

Feeling clever? Remember to show, not tell! (Learn all about this by clicking here.)
