WRITING

A huge ‘thank you’ and ‘well done’ to those children who have shared some of their writing with me. I really enjoyed reading it and it was lovely that you shared it with me. I have read some really interesting and different stories- thank you!  J

Keep them coming! CPSClass16@corporationroad.darlington.sch.uk

Writing- write a story using the story prompt.

Use the picture… use it as a prompt to write a story.

I have included some story starters… you can use one of these but you don’t have to- use one if it will help you.

There are also some prompts, you could use these to help you write your story but again, you do not have to use them- use them if they will  help you.

Story starters    
(You could use one of these story starters or use your own.)

In a world where everything seemed black and white, it brought colour. In a world where things were often bleak, it brought joy.

Many years ago a real girl had held a real balloon, releasing it into the sky as she hoped her dreams and prayers would be answered. Now, her image and memory were etched on the very walls behind the spot where she once stood.

Her story, and that of the red balloon, would be told for many generations to come…

 Prompts

• Why do you think the balloon is red, where the rest of the drawing is black and white?
• Who is the little girl, and why is she releasing the balloon?
• What could have happened to the girl? Do you think the balloon symbolises anything?
• How does this compare to other graffiti you have seen?
• Do you think graffiti should be illegal?
• Where do you think this photograph was taken?
• Why do you think the artist created it?

Remember the features within your writing.

• Remember to write using: a range of sentence types (clauses and the position of the clauses), a range of punctuation including, () – : ;  , .  A range of sentence openers, a range of connectives.
• Organise your work into paragraphs, build your paragraphs around a main idea that give the reader facts, detail and information (read your work carefully, check the sentences make sense and flow. Are there links between the sentences and paragraphs? How have you linked your paragraphs? – repetition, adverbial link, ellipsis?)
• A good tip for this is, let someone who doesn’t know about the topic you are writing about read your work. Do they understand it? Does your writing make sense to them without you explaining it to them or telling them more information? If it does then your writing is successful. If you need to tell your reader more by speaking about your writing, this tells you that you need to add more detail or information into it so the reader is clear about your topic – information in your writing.
• Proof read your work- find and correct any errors, including spelling.

Email me any work to our class email address…  CPSClass16@corporationroad.darlington.sch.uk
