Writing an introduction to your story (Tuesday) Your introduction needs to include the following: • How Elijah and Jazz sneak out of the colony. • Is it caused by an event? Do they have to hide in something? How do they feel when they escape? • Try to not start all of your sentences with pronouns. Make sure you read the example of an introduction before beginning your story and watch the video I have made to help you.

Writing the build-up to your story (Wednesday) For the build-up you need to include the following: • Negative adjectives to describe Mars • Describe the characters emotions to show that they are feeling uneasy. • Hint that something isn’t right – do they see things out the corner of their eye or hear strange sounds? Remember to read through the example and watch my video to help you. Also, continue to use the fronted adverbials, adjectives and verbs word mats to help you.

Writing the problem of your story (Thursday) For the problem of your story you need to include the following: • Your description of your scary character • Dramatic starters to your sentences using words like suddenly, quickly etc. • Decide what the scary character is going to do. Is it going to attack them? Will Elijah and Jazz need to hide from it or will they fight back? Remember to watch my video and read the example before starting. Also, continue to use the fronted adverbials, adjectives and verbs word mats to help you.

Writing the resolution and ending to your story (Friday) For the resolution and ending to your story you need to include the following: • How do Elijah and Jazz get out of the situation? • How do they get back to colony? • You may want the reader to find out that the scary character was always good? Or have Elijah and Jazz escape from it. If you have picked an alien as the scary character you might also want to have Elijah and Jazz catch it and take it back to the colony to show everyone. • When they return think if they have learnt anything? Do they need to apologise to anyone? How does everyone react when they return? Remember to read the example and watch my video before you begin to write.
