English - Writing an Adventure Story

Today, you are going to use the original text 'A Stone Age Boy' to write your own adventure story using your planning.

It is helpful to do this on a computer, but you can write it too. All you need to do is read the original story out loud then changed little bits at a time. 

FOR EXAMPLE: BLACK - original story. GREEN - Miss Robinson's new story


 The parts highlighted in yellow are the parts that I have changed. 


STONE AGE BOY

THE SWEET SHOP GRANDPA

An amazing thing once happened to me. I was wandering in the

woods when I tripped and found myself falling down, down, down.

An incredible thing once happened to an old, grumpy, sweet shop 

owner. He was working late in his ancient, desolate sweet shop one 

night when suddenly he was sucked into a jar of peppermint swirls 

and found himself spinning round, round, round!

When I woke up, I was in a cold, dark place. I could see daylight in 

the distance and I stumbled towards it. Outside, everything was 

different. I realised I was lost. Completely lost. So I walked and 

walked and walked…

When his eyes finally opened, he was in a bright, colourful world. 

He could see pink, candyfloss-like clouds in the distance and so he

rose, and limped towards them. Before him, everything was strange 

and different. He realised that we was lost. Completely lost. So he

walked and stumbled and shuffled through this new world

Just work on these two opening paragraphs today! I can't wait to read them 😃
