English We are starting our Christmas Writing Unit today, based on the book 'Charles Dickens - A Christmas Carol, Retold by Tony Mitton'
1st Look at the copy of the first image from the book (with the text removed). This is the first image in the story I would like you to study it carefully and guess the themes of the story from the image. Make a list of two, three or four possible themes with a reason. E.g. ‘The theme of loneliness as he is alone at a table’ or ‘fear as the illustration is dark and foreboding.’ etc.
2nd Read the descriptive story openers Highlight, or think of one or two short sections within each opener that you find most intriguing or engaging as a reader.
3rd Choose one story theme from the image of the man at the table. Develop a word bank of vocabulary that you can use in your story opener tomorrow. Consider similes, alliteration and personification.
4th See your spelling list for this week (below). |
