Musical learning is one of the best ways to make sure that you remember 'dull' or difficult information!

Year 6 Noir Fiction - Femme Fatale



L.O. To include complex sentences in a dialogue

Last night we revised the use of complex sentences.

Write a dialogue (1/2 page) between a innocent man and a dangerous femme fatale, where the femme fatale wants to con the man into giving her something she wants - like his wallet!

Try to include complex sentences in your dialogue, e.g.

"Look, doll face, do I look like a rat?" (I've 'bracketed off' doll face)

Feeling clever? Don't forget to present your dialogue in different ways.
