Literacy homework due Friday, 11th November

Literacy homework due Friday, 11th November

We have had a lot of fun this week discussing the heroes/heroines and beasts you might find in Ancient Greek myths and legends. For your homework, I'd like you to write four sentences to describe your hero or heroine and four sentences to describe your beast.

Have a look at this example:

The ferocious dragon roared menacingly. (adjectivenoun- verb-adverb)

You might like to practise using this sentence structure. Have a look at the word bank for ideas and the pictures for inspiration. I'm looking forward to reading your descriptions!
