Year 4 Fiction - Story with Description



L.O. To use all of our descriptive techniques to set the scene at the beginning of a short story

It is so important to 'set the scene' for your readers at the beginning of a short story. Click here and here to learn more!

Here was your prompt...

Whilst sailing across 'The Blazing World', your submarine chances upon a desert island. You climb out of your boat - only for your crew to sail off, leaving you stranded!

Plan and write the story of your first night alone, remembering to include a paragraph describing the desert island. You've already written the first 10 lines or so - now continue to describe your first night. Think about:

- How do you build a shelter?
- What do you eat?
- How do you protect yourself?

We'll redraft next week!
