Writing an Adventure Story
The children are going to be having a go at writing
their own stories in the style of an ancient myth. We have talked about the key
elements required for this: - having a hero or heroine that needs to go on a
quest to find something/ rescue someone, etc
- and who has lots of adventures
along the way (involving mythical creatures and magical assistance, etc)
The children have planned out their stories and are
going to be writing a section each day this week.
I will be modelling the writing of my own story to
help the children to structure and organise their story-writing; and to draw
attention to how to develop characters, settings and the plot.
It would be great if you could chat to your child
about their story (– the plot, the characters, the monsters) and so help them
to have a good, secure idea about the content that they are going to develop
over the week.
We planned out our ideas for our stories using a string (to represent the story-line) and "bits-and-bobs" (to represent the settings, characters and key objects)
