Do you need a really good writing example to inspire your pupils?
These opening paragraphs for creative writing sessions (or for homework) include well structured sentences. They are ideal for Year 5 and 6 children - and KS3. The crime / mystery focus will engage writers and should initiate some good class discussions.
Four openers are included. Each includes a version that can be easily cut out and stuck in their books, and a version that can be completed on the sheet in class or for homework.
The titles are…
1. The Guards
2. In the Middle of the Night
3. The Plan
4. The President

Homework Bundle
This bundle contains 5 different resources suitable for years 5 and 6 - and perhaps more able year 4s. Could also be used with KS3. Each one will take a little more time than your typical weekly homework. Of course, these could also be completed in term time over several weeks or used in the classroom.<br /> <br /> 1. Titanic Project<br /> 2. Mary Celeste Project<br /> <br /> These require the children to carry out some research and complete four separate writing activities. Each activity is supported with guidance and suggestions. Both of these are written in MS Word so that the title 'Homework' can be easily changed if required.<br /> <br /> 3. Opening Paragraphs - Crime<br /> 4. Opening Paragraphs - Mystery<br /> <br /> These both contain engaging and well written story starters to encourage the children to produce a 'polished' piece of writing. There are several in each pack to choose from and they include a version for each that just needs to be photocopied - the lines are included!<br /> <br /> 5. Kensuke's Kingdom Writing Project <br /> <br /> Ideal if the children have just finished the book or perhaps they could read it as part of their homework! This gets the children to answer 'higher level' comprehension questions about the book and then gets them to put what they have learnt into practice. It is written is a lively (and sometimes rather silly) way to engage the children.
