Week 9 Writing Lesson 1 - Monday

Creating a characterWe are going to create our own characters for a story.

To do this we need to use our imaginations and think about four things:

● What does your character look like? (Outside traits)● What is your character’s personality? (Inside traits)● What is your character wearing?● Where does your character live?

Creating a characterToday we are going to create our own superheroes!

Creating a characterWhen you are creating your superhero, you might think about these things:

● What colours do they wear?● Do they have long hair or short hair?● What do they wear?- Boots?- Mask?- Belt?- Cape?- Gloves?● What are their super powers?

Super Kind!

Yellow, blue, red and purple clothes

Mask

Gloves

Boots

Belt

Cape

Your turn!You are going to draw a picture of your superhero. Try and be

as creative as possible! You can use some ideas from the superheroes below. You might like to give your superhero a

name too!

Week 9 Writing Lesson 2 - Tuesday

Describing your characterWe are learning to create interesting characters. We want to

hook our readers and make them say “ooh”, so that they want to keep on reading!

We can use adjectives to describe our character’s:Inside traits:● Feelings/emotions● Personality

Outside traits:● Number● Size● Colour● Shape● Texture

You might use this character profile sheet to help you sort your ideas.

Describing your characterSuper Kind has short, brown hair and fair skin. He wears a spiky, yellow mask over his eyes to conceal his identity. Around his neck, Super Kind has a long, purple cape hanging down which blows in the wind. His yellow suit has a red lightning

bolt on his chest. He has a red belt around his waist. Super Kind wears long, blue boots and gloves. Super Kind loves spreading kindness around the world and

always has a smile on his face.

Your turn!Use your character drawing from yesterday, to help you write

a description of it.

everything!

Try to write 5 sentences!

Week 9 Writing Lesson 3 - Wednesday

SimilesRead “My Dog Is As Smelly As Dirty Socks”:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1mn72Rk_j0

Think about the sentences you hear in the story.

What do they have in common?

SimilesSometimes in writing you might hear or read, a sentence

where two things are compared using the word “like” or “as”.

Example: “His hands were as cold as ice”

This is called a simile.Similes make our writing even more interesting and

descriptive.

Similes

● As light as a feather

● As tall as a giraffe

● As loud as my baby brother

● As red as a tomato

● As hot as an oven

● Soared like an eagle

● Rang like a bell

● Swam like a fish

● Wobbled like jelly

● Danced like a ballerina

Your turn!

Cut out the cards in your take home pack and match them together to make the correct

simile.

Week 9 Writing Lesson 4 - Thursday

VisualisingAn important part of reading and writing is being able to

make a picture in your head of things that are being described. You can make mental images that might change as you read or listen to a story. It’s a bit like playing a movie

in your head.

This is called visualising.

Visualising

Listen to or read the description, and draw a picture to match.

My hair is as green as fresh grass. It is so long that it hangs all the way down my back. My bright blue eyes sparkle like

the ocean and my cheeks are round and rosey. The top half of me is human and the bottom half is a fish. My tail is

pink and scaly and I wear a purple top. I love swimming around the ocean being as gentle as a butterfly.

Visualising

If your picture looks something like this, you have done a wonderful job of visualising!

VisualisingListen to or read the description, and draw a

picture to match. I have short, curly, orange hair on top of my round head. My two,

bright eyes are wide and I have a nose as red as Rudolph the reindeer. White paint covers my mouth and my red, rosy cheeks

show my lovely smile. I am wearing a purple long sleeve shirt with red buttons down the front. My long blue trousers are held up by two green straps on my shoulders. I have stripey socks, red shoes

and white gloves on my hands. I am very cheerful and love to make people laugh by being silly.

Visualising

If your picture looks something like this, you

have done a wonderful job of visualising!
