Year 6 - Thursday & Friday: The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes



L.O. To write a detective story featuring a fictional detective

You are going to create your own Holmes-style Victorian detective. Learn more about inventing a character here.

Thursday
In class, you created a fictional detective, and began to plan a story based on an 'open' title; please write the first 15 lines of that story for homework. Don't forget to describe your detective's study/flat and what they look like!

Feeling clever? Include a colon as you set the scene!

Due: Friday.

Friday

In class you wrote 'The Broken Vase' under timed conditions. Please type up this story, improving it as you go, and either (i) bring it in on USB or (ii) email it to me at baldworm.co.uk so we can put together a 'The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes' laminated book for the school library!

Due: Monday.

Have a great weekend - next week we will be looking at reported speech, and revising characterisation.
Don't forget to get your friends and family to listen to our Year Six Comprehension Techniques podcast, and feel free to add to our Flat Classroom project, http://timezoneexperiences.wikispaces.com/Time+Zone+Chart
