Year Six Fiction: Redrafting Your Timed Writing

What a week! In the first five days of term you've already learnt about the nine parts of speech, escalating tension plans and how planning a story set in a confined environment - like a prison cell (see the video above!), a cave or trapped lift - can add tension to your writing - especially if you add something dangerous into the environment, like a snake, bank robber or a ticking bomb! We've also enjoyed reading Uncle Montague's Tales of Terror. Why not try to get hold of a copy this weekend?

Weekend homework: Please complete a full redraft of your Timed Writing story. Don't forget to fill in the self- assessment sheet. Learn more about redrafting - the process of improving your story - here.

Have a great weekend. Next week? Sherlock Holmes!
