M.A.K.M-9000 - Mean, Auto, Killing Machine by Darwin and William

SUCCESS CRITERIA

- NARRATIVE WRITING

How to write a narrative story

• Use the T.O.P.S. writing structure to organise our ideas.

• Use simple punctuation correctly in our sentences. . (at the end of a sentence) AKL (capital letters, nouns, I)  

• Use the ‘CCC strategy’, dictionaries or sounding out patterns to check mispelt words.

• Make sure your sentences make sense by proofreading for meaning, spelling and (complex) punctuation.

• Write interesting language that will ‘hook in’ the reader (eg. metaphor, personification, hyperbole.)

• Include dialogue to give the reader more information about the characters, events and solutions.
