L.O – To plan creative writing
Today I would like you plan a piece of creative writing all about Santa`s naughty puppy, Bruno! You can use the character profile template that includes space for you to make notes that you are going to include in your final piece of writing.
In the template you can include information about:
- Bruno`s appearance
- Bruno`s personality
- Bruno`s actions in the story (what naughty things he does!)
- Changes that Bruno undergoes throughout the story (does he become well behaved?)
It also includes space for you to draw a sketch of what Bruno looks like!
Make sure you use the adjective, verb and character trait mats to help you!
