Writing - Planning a complication

Learning Goal (WALT): - Plan a narrative complication

Success Criteria (WILF): - I can use my 5 senses to tighten the tension in my writing

- I can describe what characters might see and feel

Writing - Planning a complication

How can I create nail biting tension in my writing?

It's simple. Fill your complication scene with detail to make the reader feel as if they

were really there. Use the five senses as a guide.

• See

• Hear

• Touch

• Taste

• Smell

Writing - Planning a complication

Imagine a volcano erupting. Close your eyes and visualise what you would:

• See (Smoke, people running, fire spurting, ash floating in the air...)

• Hear (Rumblings, people crying out, animals squealing, sirens blasting...)

• Touch (Hot air, ash, scratches and bruises, people pushing you...)

• Taste (Sweat, blood, thirst, and the taste of fear...)

• Smell (Smoke, heat, sweat, burning...)

Watch Toy Story - The Furnace https://youtu.be/zCNgNkAZqg4

Imagine you are in this complication scene from Toy Story. Now visualise and write in your book what you would:

• See

• Hear

• Touch

• Taste

• Smell

Watch Oktapodi: https://vimeo.com/4352688

Identify the complication scenes in this short film. How did the writers tighten the

tension? Write your answers in full sentences in your book.

Writing - Planning a complication

Using your 5 senses, plan the climactic point/complication of your story in your book. Check back to what you planned earlier in the term. ● Do you still like your idea? ● Could you improve on it?

Writing - Planning a complication

When planning, think specifically about:● How you will tighten the tension?● What kind of language will you use? (e.g.“Show, don’t tell”, senses, similies etc.)

Helpful hintYou could use a mind map or a graphic organiser of your choice to organise your ideas.

Mentals - Warm Up!

The following work you will be completing is revision of concepts we have already covered. Please have a look back through your Maths Books to help you with any work you are unsure of before seeking assistance.

Mathematics - Addition

Split Compensation

22 + 34 27 + 33

48 + 98 51 + 78

113 + 262 99 + 40

1834 + 494 762 + 965

6599 + 752 1158 + 9340

Split Compensation

456 + 560 =

400 + 500 + 56 + 6

= 900 + 116

= 1016

456 + 560 =

Step 1. Take away 6 from 456 to make 450

Step 2. Take away 10 from 560 to make 550.

Step 3. Then add 450 and 550 = 1000.

Step 4. Then add the 6 and the 10 back to the final number

= 1016

1. Quick revision with an example. 2. Answer these questions, complete with

working out.

MathematicsThe following link provides a 5 minute video presenting how the jump strategy works for both addition and subtraction.

Click on: The Jump Strategy

Using the jump strategy, answer the following in your book.

1. _____ + 826 + 486 = 13692. 94 + _____ + 142 = 6083. 440 + 487 = ______ = 10164. _____ + 315 + 44 = 4265. 223 + 0 + ____ = 7346. 905 + ____ + 83 = 1389

Personal Development/HealthThis term we have been learning about school, water and road safety. Time to get creative…

Create a road safety scene in your home, on paper, with lego or in your backyard. Include passengers in cars, pedestrians, and people on bikes. To do this, you could use:

● toys/teddy bears/dolls/figurines as people● toy cars, bikes etc● pictures you have drawn for road signs● any items from around the house e.g. towels, chairs, utensils etc. (check with parents/carers first).

Create a video/stop motion animation to share with your teacher, demonstrating the safety of your scene. E.g. people walking on the footpath, crossing at the lights, wearing seat belts etc.

Optional: Visit Safety Town and complete road safety activities: https://www.safetytown.com.au/town/student/stage-3/#list

Extra Activities (if you want to extend yourself or have extra time)

Complete these extension activities and present them in any way you like. For example Google Doc, Slides, video, drawings etc.
