Homework: Please complete the 'Writing Style' sheet for Lemony Snicket.
P.S. Do you like the music from the Lemony Snicket storytapes? The music is by The Gothic Archies. Here is another Snicket-inspired song:

Year 6 Fiction: Redrafting Your Mini-Saga
A mini saga is a piece of writing which has exactly fifty words - not 49, not 51 - exactly fifty words! (Not including the title). A mini saga has to tell a complete story with a beginning, middle and end. The best mini sagas end with a clever twist.
Mini sagas force you to be creative - the constraints imposed by having to write exactly fifty words makes you think about every single word that you write. There are some good tips here.
Task: Please write a second draft of your favourite mini saga. We'll record them through audioboo as special mini saga eduboos tomorrow!
P.S. Bonus video:
