This animated Power Point draws inspiration from the 500 words short story competition and Mary Poppins in equal measure. The story unfolds of Mrs. Brownley who , when trudging home one stormy night, finds a discarded umbrella and is whisked away on the breeze . Pupils read the short story and then are invited to write one of their own using their knowledge of setting and characterisation. Pupils are asked to consider how the tension will build towards a climax and how their story will reach a satisfactory conclusion. They are asked to empathise with their character's situation and to focus on the detail in their observations. Ideas are given paragraph by paragraph on how to structure their writing and how to improve its quality using devices such as similes , metaphors and personification.
