This unit focuses on the opening of a suspense story. The children read the opening then identify the different forms of figurative speech that have been used to add effect. Personification, metaphors and similes are explained and examples shown.
Children then go on to write the opening of their own suspense story using a picture of haunted house as stimulus.

Story that pupils are shown how to personalise. A story with a difference will be launched on the Edinburgh Techniques website on May 31st to coincide with a statue to the late Tommy Burns being unveiled at Celtic Park. <br /> <br />Tommy is the hero of the story whose speech encourages love of your football club without hatred of other teams and also has an anti bullying theme. <br /> <br />The difference is the story will be downloaded in WORD with instructions as to how to replace names in the story to those of the student's school, home area, friends and family. <br /> <br />They are also encouraged to illustrate the story themselves. <br /> <br />Most of the dialogue is written in Fife Scots. Students will also be encouraged to re -write the dialogue in their own accents. <br /> <br />Two stories will be launched simultaneously: <br /> <br />Danny 'n Tommy the Celtic story and Rob 'n Barry the Rangers story. <br /> <br />Students can also change the hero to someone from their own team: Hibs, Hearts or Dundee United to Man U. Chelsea or Arsenal...or indeed to Brechin City or Cowdenbeath for that matter. <br /> <br />30p from each sale goes to the children's ward at Yorkhill Hospital in Glasgow Glasgow. <br />
