Welcome, Year 4! Today, we are going to embark on a thrilling adventure into the world of Creative Editing. But before that, let’s ignite our imaginations with a little storytelling exercise!
Imagine you are the hero of your very own story. You can choose any setting you like! Here are some options, but feel free to come up with your own:
Take a moment to close your eyes and picture your chosen setting. What do you see? What do you hear?
Now, every great story has a hero. Think about who your character will be. Is it a brave knight, a curious animal, or perhaps a clever girl with extraordinary powers? Write down three interesting traits about your character.
Using the prompts below, write a catchy opening sentence for your story. Remember, the beginning is crucial to grab your reader's attention!
"As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting an orange glow over the enchanted forest, Emily stumbled upon…"
"On the shimmering sands of the alien planet, Zog the friendly Martian discovered…"
Once you’ve crafted your opening sentence, pair up with a friend and share it. Listen carefully to their sentence, and think about how you can edit it to make it even more exciting!
Today, we’ll learn how to edit our sentences creatively, adding vivid descriptions and altering words to enhance our stories. Creative editing will help us transform simple stories into captivating adventures for our readers!
So, let’s get those creative juices flowing and dive into the world of editing magic!
