Imaginary Stories February 14, 2008
Posted by smacniven in : Law Primary, Personal/Imaginative Writing , 34commentsWe have been writing imaginary stories in class. We chose a genre which interested us from the following titles:
The Magic Key
No Escape
Picked For the team
Beyond the Blackhole
We then looked at a really good story and decided what was successful about it. We came up with the following Success Criteria before we started.:
1.It must have a beginning, middle and end.
2. It is important to include an obstacle or a problem and to solve it.
3. Add lots of descriptions about setting and characters. Answering the important who, what, why, when where questions.
4. To make it really interesting you could include similes, metaphors, personification etc. and include feelings and thoughts.
5. Make sure your story is balanced , including speech and narrative (telling the story)
6. Vary your sentences.
( we always try to check our spelling, grammar and punctuation in all our writing)
Our teachers marked the beginning and middle and we self and peer assessed the endings.
Please read them and let us know what you think. Are they successful?
