Writing Ideas - Letters

When I visit schools, I show children some of the ideas I've learned about writing with My Story House. Writing is an important part of communicating with others. You need to write in a way your reader can easily understand what you are trying to tell them. People write letters for all sorts of reasons: to tell someone something, to complain, to ask for information, or to apply for something, like a job. Games can be fun way to learn things about writing. Try the 'Letters' game with Budge and Princess Gaga below.

Writing Ideas - Leaflets

When I visit schools, I show children some of the ideas I've learned about writing with My Story House. Writing is an important part of communicating with others. You need to write in a way your reader can easily understand what you are trying to tell them. Leaflets and brochures give the reader a message in a small amount of space, usually one or two sides of a small page. As well as being informative, leaflets often try to persuade the reader to do something. Games can be fun way to learn things about writing. Try the 'Leaflets' game with the Midnight Bride below.

Story Openings 2

Moby Dick by Herman Melville

Opening from 'Moby Dick' by Herman Melville...

+++

Call me Ishmael. Some years ago -- never mind how long precisely -- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world.

+++

Moby Dick is the story of Captain Ahab's quest for revenge on the whale that ‘reaped’ his leg. Among the ship's crew is Ishmael, the novel's narrator, ordinary sailor, and extraordinary reader.

In my Kernowland series, I have used a similar idea of revenge on an awesome beast being the driving force behind Captain Pigleg's obsession. The pirate leader seeks revenge on the great wild boar that took his leg. He will stop at nothing to achieve this end, including gathering a hold full of slavechildren to be used as bait on his quest.

You can find Moby Dick in the 'Jack's Favourite Books' section of my Reading Store.
