Describing characters This week’s whole school topic is ‘Teamwork’. How do you think this week’s reading texts link with teamwork? On Thursday, we are going to write a short story featuring a team of superheroes. They could be superheroes that have already been invented, or new superheroes from your imagination. For them to work as a team, there need to be two or more. Which superheroes are you going to choose or invent? What are their superpowers? How did they become superheroes? Today, our task is to make a ‘role on the wall’ picture for each superhero. (Blank outlines are on the next page) Around the outside go words and phrases that others would be able to see. On the inside go words and phrases about their personality and character. For example…

Developing a plot Our superheroes need to do what superheroes do: save the day!

In today’s activity, we are going to work on creating an interesting plot for Thursday’s story.

So that the plot is clear and we can organise our ideas, we are going to use a story mountain

like this one to decide on our five sections.

Opening: this is where the story begins. Where are they? Who is there?

Build-up: this is where we lead our story towards something going wrong. What clues might

you give the reader in this section?

Dilemma: this is where something goes wrong for our superheroes to overcome. Is it a

disaster, or has a villain endangered some innocent victims?

Resolution: this is where the superheroes save the day. How do they use their superpowers?

Closing: this is the conclusion of the story. How does everything get back to normal? How

have any of the characters changed? Did anyone learn a lesson?

For example…

You can draw your own story mountain, or use the blank one

on the next page.

Expanding nouns

An expanded noun phrase is a phrase that works as a noun in a sentence.

We can expand nouns with adjectives (to describe) and prepositions (to show where).

Noun + adjectives + prepositions

The cat The scruffy, flea-ridden cat The scruffy, flea-ridden cat behind the bins

A noise A loud, metallic noise A loud, metallic noise in the air

My idea My incredible, ground-breaking idea My incredible, ground-breaking idea from my dream

You’ll notice that because they are only phrases, none of them makes sense as a complete sentence.

This is fine; we can put them into sentences tomorrow when we write our story.

Today, our task is to add adjectives and prepositions to nouns from our story mountain to write expanded noun phrases.

https://supereasystorytelling.com/awesome-adjectives-list.html and https://www.smart-words.org/linking-words/list-of-prepositions.pdf might be helpful

links if you are looking for word banks.

For example…

Noun + adjectives + prepositions

The seafront The baking hot, windy seafront The baking hot, windy seafront in Weston-Super-Mare

A chip A hot, salty chip A hot, salty chip on the pavement

Their coach Their cool, air-conditioned coach Their cool, air-conditioned coach at the side of the road

The teacher The brave, handsome teacher The brave, handsome teacher with the bum bag

The Bristol Channel The choppy, murky Bristol Channel The choppy, murky Bristol Channel beyond the beach

Barry Island Busy, festive Barry Island Busy, festive Barry Island by the shore

Their fans Their refreshing, electric fans Their refreshing, electric fans in the doorways

Some children Some sweaty, disheveled children Some sweaty, dishevelled children from Bradley Stoke

Thursday: Boxing up

Before we write, we’ll now organise our writing and any other ideas that we’ve had into a boxing up frame. In my

example I have collected my favourite language from Tuesday and Wednesday, and added extra narrative

(storytelling) features of persuasive writing:

o dialogue: showing what characters are like and moving the story forward.

o imagery & figurative language: creating images in the reader’s mind.

o conjunctions: to link ideas together by time or consequence.

An example:

Thursday: writing When you’re ready, it’s time to write your superhero story, showing how teamwork saved the day.

Use your plan and the model below, along with your best writing skills, to make your story the best that it can be.

Bird Person and the Snailien were at the baking hot, windy seafront in Weston-Super-Mare.

It felt hotter than the inside of an apple pie from McDonalds. While helping the council to

clean up, Bird Person picked up litter with quick, sharp bursts of movement. The Snailien,

who was slightly psychic, told him where to look before littering occurred. “That man’s going

to drop a hot, salty chip on the pavement,” correctly predicted the Snailien.

Just then, a school trip arrived from Bradley Stoke. The children (who were in Years 5 and

6)got off their cool, air-conditioned coach at the side of the road. Excitedly, they headed for the

pier which was full of thrilling amusements. Lights danced and music giggled, enticing the

young people further.

“Can we take our packed lunches?” chorused the pupils.

The adults agreed. “Good idea!”

As the group reached their destination, a groaning, metallic rumble filled the air.

Unfortunately, the weight of the packed lunches was too much for the pier and it broke away

from its foundations on the sea bead. Slowly but surely, the pier drifted into the choppy,

murky Bristol Channel, towards Barry Island “Oh no!” exclaimed the adults a moment later

when they saw what had happened. Menacing waves jostled one another as the stricken party

peered over the guard rails.

Our heroes had been watching events unfold, so Bird Person flew to busy, festive Barry

Island by the shore. The Snailien clung onto his back with its strong feet. After a ten-minute

flight, they landed and headed for a parade of shops and cafés. “Please help – you’re our only

hope!” pleaded the Snailien in a slimy voice as they approached shopkeepers and business

owners. Luckily, most agreed and pointed their electric fans towards the distant pier. It began

to drift back towards Weston-Super-Mare like a cargo ship manoeuvring round an iceberg.

Because of their teamwork, disaster had been narrowly averted.

Some time later, Bird Person used sticky smears of chips like strong blu-tac to fix the pier

back to its foundations. Seventy-eight sweaty, dishevelled children from Bradley Stoke

staggered off the pier and back onto dry land. The brave, handsome teacher with the bum bag

vowed never to make the same mistake again.

“We’ll eat our lunch first next time,” chuckled the adults, relieved.

“Just as long as there aren’t any crisps for lunch,” slobbered the Snailien.

“I think I’m going to be sick,” complained a girl in a green hoody.
