The Way Home for Wolf

LI: I am learning to create an image in my mind while reading that reflects the characters, events, topics or information in

the text.

Writers often use language to appeal to our senses (sight, sound, smell, touch and taste). This is called ‘sensory language’.

Sensory language helps us to picture in our minds what is happening in the text.

Read the text below then create an artistic representation of the text. You may use textas, crayons, coloured pencils or paint

to draw your picture. Upload your picture to Seesaw.

As a rainbow of lights flickered in the night,

Dusting diamonds of ice in a desert of white,

The wild whipping wind, it whistled its tune,

To a howling of wolves and a shimmering moon.

OPTIONAL ACTIVITY: This story has a theme of friendship and teamwork. Make a list of other stories or movies which have

the same theme.

English: Thursday

The Way Home for Wolf

LI: I can use evidence from a text and my own experiences to make connections to the text.

Brainstorming ideas

4-5 words to

describe your

setting

One of the most effective ways to describe the

setting of a narrative is to use descriptive

language which appeals to the five senses

(sight, sound, smell, touch, taste).

4-5 words to

describe your

characters

It is important to make characters seem ‘real’ by

describing their appearance, personality and

emotions.

A sizzling start

about when your

story happened

There was no way of getting out…

I felt so alone and frightened…

Crash! There was a flash of light…

I knew space was big but this was incredible…

Write your narrative BEGINNING on a new page. Remember to include the words you have brainstormed in your table.

Wednesday:
