Salesbury this week!
Blogs PageEnglish Today you are going to write the rest of your story of the ghost of Christmas past, present or future giving their account of their visit to Scrooge (using yesterday's plan to help)
1st Complete the starter sheet on perfect tense (past)
The formula for the past perfect tense is had + [past participle]. It doesn’t matter if the subject is singular or plural; the formula doesn’t change.
2nd Look back at the account of your ghost meeting Scrooge (done on Tuesday) and yesterday's plan. Get your mind back into the role of the ghost.
Look at the story book again (below).
Consider, whilst looking back over your work and the book, how you will convey the character of your ghost when writing your retelling of events. Consider:
• How does your ghost sound and move and how can you refer to this in your writing?
• What is your character’s opinion of Scrooge and how can you convey this?
• What makes your ghost different to the other ghosts and how can you show this?
3rd Here is one way you could write your first few sentences:
'I whisked Scrooge up and away from the present. We swept through the air of the cold winter night and began to traverse time, back into the past. As we flew past buildings and life with swift speed, Scrooge screamed in terror, unable to fully comprehend what was happening. Shouting with panic, he begged me to stop; he questioned my intentions; he was still try to fathom whether this was reality or just a surreal dream.'
4th Success Criteria
Use 'ing' openings
