Terrfic Writing

This week we worked on the same piece of writing for several days.

First we made a plan which included a picture of a character, a setting, a problem and a solution.  Then we added some key words to our plan.

The next day we started our story by setting the scene.  To do this we wrote 1-3 sentences describing the character and then 1-3 sentences describing the setting and what the character likes to do in the setting.

On the final day we wrote the problem and the solution.

Our finished stories were so amazing that Mrs Robertson read every single one out to the class.  She is going to type them up for us and we will illustrate them next week.

Here are two examples.
