How are you getting on with your writing inspiration? Sometimes it can be hard to come up with the ideas for a story – that’s why we give you stimulus like the tree picture on this week’s worksheet. Another good thing is listing ideas – banks of adjectives, picturing your setting etc.

Also very important  is knowing who we are writing for and in this case, Miss Taylor has decided to write for a younger audience. We’re sure you’ll love her story but, listening to it should give you ideas for writing for a younger audience too. Look at the use of rhyme (an important feature in children’s stories) and the use of repetition.

Have you been inspired to write for a younger audience? Or have you got another idea for Dexter and his further adventures? Perhaps you can do some illustrations for Miss Taylor’s story – whatever you do we’d love to hear from you.
