Literacy homework due Thursday 12th October
For homework this week, I would like you to post six super sentences containing suspense.
When writing your sentences, remember to include the following techniques used in class:
- Short sentences to build up tension
- Ellipsis (…) to create the ‘what happens next?’ moment
- SHOW how the character felt (His heart pounded, sweat poured from his face.)
- Similes
- Dramatic sentence starters (At that moment.....)
- Use the senses to describe, particularly SOUNDS!
You may use the following short openers as a starting point:
- Dougal spotted
- Dougal was sleeping
- In the distance…
- Dougal turned around…
- Dougal opened the door
- Cautiously, Dougal crept inside
Alternatively, you may wish to create suspense sentences about a completely different adventure! I'm already looking forward to reading your work.
