Homegroup B, TP and L
This term we will be focusing on narrative writing. We will be looking at the structure of stories and discussing how each story needs a great problem and an interesting solution in a logical order. We are learning how to engage our audience by using a sizzling start and finding alternative words to ensure our work isn’t boring. We are starting off our narrative writing by creating a story map to plan out our ideas.
Homegroup B will be looking to include characters, a problem and solution in our writing and experimenting with our word choice.
Homegroup TP will be revising quotation marks for character speech and also thinking about different words we could use instead of ‘said’ to enable the reader to understand the feelings or mood of the character who is speaking.
Homegroup L will be using key elements such as pacing, atmosphere and foreshadowing to build suspense in our writing. Hinting at future events will keep readers at the edge of their seats waiting to see how our story ends.
