At The Stroke Of Midnight: Brush Up On Your Writing Skills (9-13 years)

Description

Includes:

– Plan, structure and organise a spooky story, called ‘The Creepy House’. Take advantage of impressive vocabulary and describe the desolate, ram shackled house and it’s wild, over grown garden.

– Read a second story ‘At The Stroke Of Midnight’ and complete another spine chilling version of your own. This resource is not for the squeamish, but packed with suggestions for spooky vocabulary.

– Read the prompt poem on ‘Fright Night’. Write a spine chilling version to persuade your reader to join the spooky event. Next, write an article reporting on the frightful night, adding fearsome facts and odious opinions.

– Be terrified as you make a poster for ‘Little House Of Horrors’. Use words that are fearfully persuasive, containing chilling vocabulary, to give your reader goose bumps. Next, write a story called ‘The Strange Dream’.
