Literacy task - Story writing – Tiny Dragon

• Imagine you discover this tiny dragon.

• Where is it from?

• Why is it so small?

• Are there more like him?

• Where does he live?

• How will you look after it?

• Will you keep it a secret or tell someone?

• What is it called?

• Is it magic? What magic can it do?

• I like to imagine that it is a small dragon which you can keep in your pocket but when you need

it to, it can grow huge so that you can ride it.

Task: Write a short story about what happens when you or your character goes inside. What

adventure or mystery unfolds?

Mild: Have a clear beginning, middle and end. Use some WOW words.

Spicy: Have a clear beginning, middle and end. Use some WOW words. Think about using

adjectives to create a strong image in your head.

Hot: Remember how a story is structured; introduction, build up, problem, resolution and

ending. You may want to draw a story map first, to help you. Try to use some similes (for

example: as quiet as a mouse, tangled like spaghetti).
