This week, our homework is Creative: I can plan a short story.
The BBC 500 words is the world’s biggest short-story writing competition for children. Every year, thousands of children enter the competition with the winner’s story being read aloud on the radio by a celebrity.
For their homework this week, children should plan their short story. There are many ways in which children could plan their story:
- create a story map
- make a film video trailer
- make a comic strip
- make their story out of Lego, or Playdough, and take some still images
When planning their story, children should consider the plot, the characters and the setting. After half-term, we’ll have another homework where children will write their entry. For more inspiration, visit the BBC 500 words website. This homework should be completed by Thursday 07 February 2019.
