Tuesday's Writing Challenge
Your writing challenge today is to plan and write a short story. The idea for your story is ‘The Mysterious Box’.
- You could write a story about a giving a mysterious box to a friend, receiving a mysterious box as a present or finding a strange box somewhere.
Think about the following:
- Who are the characters in your story?
- What is inside the box?
- What happens when the box is opened?
- How will your story end?
Remember to plan, write, read and edit:
Plan your story with a beginning, middle and end. How are you going to hook the reader at the start? You could write down notes, draw a picture or create a storyboard.
Organise your ideas into paragraphs.
Choose your words carefully to entertain the reader.
Write in sentences. Think about some of the things we have used in class like inverted commas or fronted adverbials.
Pay attention to your spelling and punctuation.
Read, check and edit your work carefully.
