Homework due Friday, 25th May 2018:

We have been learning about stories of mystery and suspense in Literacy and have thought about what we could include to make them exciting! Use the pictures below or your own imagination to write the introduction to a mystery story, using between 50 and 100 words. Think about setting the scene, describing what you could hear and showing how you felt.

Perhaps you could include:

§     Some short, punchy sentences to build up tension
§     Ellipsis (…) to create the ‘what happens next?’ moment
§     Description of a spooky setting
§     SHOW how the character felt (He shrieked! Sweat poured from her face.)
§     Similes (My heart pounded like a drum)
§     Rhetorical questions (What could it be?)
§     Describe mystery noises and sounds.
