Week beginning 23/03/20

Story Challenge!

Watch Oktapodi on The Literacy Shed Website: https://www.literacyshed.com/oktapodi.html

 

Story Ideas you could choose from:

 

• Retell the narrative as it appears, using rich description and vivid imagery. 
• Write an alternative ending to the story, starting from the chase.
• Write a story with a flashback, perhaps the octopus wakes up in the truck and a flash back takes place remembering the tank.

 

You will need to think about:

• Who you are writing as.  Are you the delivery/truck driver, the octopus who was snatched from the tank or the octopus chasing the truck?
• Build tension, make it exciting - Show me, don't tell me!
• If you include dialogue, check your punctuation!

 

Email us your work: kestrels@bitternemanor.net - We'll look forward to reading it!

24/03/20 - Need more ideas?... Inspired by our octopus story?

Why not watch the attached videos all about octopus and try one of the following:

• a non-chronological report about octopus.
• a fact file/ poster about octopus.
• a mockumentary written in the 'voice' of Steve Backshall or David Attenborough all about octopus....or another animal of your choice.
• an octopus shape poem!
