CREATIVE WRITING - YEAR 9 - NAPLAN

TASK: Write a 300 - 600 word story using the following sentence as the beginning or the end of the story.

At the strike of 12, the restless souls begin to rise from their tombs.

REMEMBER:

A good story uses all five senses: Touch, Smell, See, Hear, Taste
A good story uses figurative language such as:

metaphor: The moon is a scarlet balloon.
simile: The moon is like a scarlet balloon.
onomatopaeia: The shoe went clunk as it fell onto the floor.
imagery: He ate his food like he'd been starving for centuries; manners forgotten, survival foremost.

USE:

varied sentence length
good paragraphing (new idea, new paragraph)
an especially great beginning and ending
sparkling dialogue, preferably without tags:
"Bring that bone over here." Professor Ratface stamped his foot. "Now!"

Happy Creative Writing!
