Literacy: frightening stories

Many of us had worked hard on our haunted house stories. We had time to look closely at six people's work together in class during the literacy lesson, and you can see parts of their stories on the boards above and below. We focused on punctuation, getting all the full stops in the right places. Some of us are ready to start using advanced punctuation like semicolons and brackets.

At home please finish off your story by writing the resolution. That means write the part where your characters find out what was really causing the strange things they saw and heard. Was it robbers hiding stolen diamonds, and making ghostly noises to frighten people away so they would not be caught by the police? Was it friends playing a prank? Was it just the creaking of an old wooden house with the wind blowing through it, and tomato ketchup on the floor because someone had been eating McDonald's burgers in there? You decide. Have fun finishing your story.
