  3. What do you expect in a horror film? What do you expect in a horror story?

  4. Sats Readingthe longer question Many students lose valuable marks on their Sats Reading Paper by missing out important parts of the longer questions. The longer questions are those that are worth 4 marks or more and require students to write quite a long response. However, there are some techniques which can help…

The longer question • Remember to use the P E E structure • Remember to turn each bullet point in the question into a paragraph • Remember to try to use at least one quote per paragraph and discuss the effects of language used • Remember to refer back to the question that you are answering at least once per paragraph

  9. Sats Writing Writing paper • 1hr 15 minutes long • The paper is in two sections: Section A = the longer writing task worth 30 marks: Section B = the shorter writing task worth 20 marks • 15 minutes to plan your answer to Section A in the space provided on the paper • You need to write in the correct style (analyse, review, comment, argue, persuade advise, explore, imagine, entertain, describe, inform, explain) • You need to write in the correct form (letter, article…) • You must use paragraphs • Try to begin each paragraph with a connective followed by a comma • Try to begin each paragraph with a topic sentence • Try to use connectives within a paragraph (either at the start of a sentence or within a sentence) • You must focus on your spelling • You must focus on your punctuation • You must try to use a variety of sentence structures (simple, complex and compound)

  10. The writing triplets • Writing to inform, explain, describe • Writing to argue, persuade, advise • Writing to analyse, review, comment

  11. Writing to inform, explain, describe Writing to inform: You must write using FACTS Your writing must be formal and clear You must use paragraphs and connectives You must use the correct punctuation Try and extend your vocabulary by using a thesaurus Focus on your spelling You must PLAN your work

  12. Halloween Research Halloween: What is it? Why do we have it? How long has it been around? What do we do to celebrate it?

  13. Writing to inform Write an information article about Halloween • Brainstorm everything that you will say about it • Each arm on your brainstorm will become a paragraph in your article • Begin each paragraph with a different connective

  14. Sample Writing to inform Firstly, Halloween is a festival celebrated on the 31st October every year. To celebrate the festival people carve scary faces into pumpkins and then place candles inside the hollowed out vegetable. Similarly, people often eat Pumpkin Soup at this time. In addition to the pumpkins people also decorate their houses with pretend cobwebs, plastic bats and spiders, scary monsters and spooky lights. As well as decorating their houses people also dress up in costumes, they sometimes dress up as witches and vampires…

  15. Writing to explain Research vampires: What are they? What do they look like? What do they do? Where do they live? How do you kill them? Dracula

  16. Writing to inform, explain, describe Writing to explain You must write using FACTS Your writing must be formal and clear You must use paragraphs and connectives You must use the correct punctuation Try and extend your vocabulary by using a thesaurus Focus on your spelling You must PLAN your work

  17. SampleWriting to explain • Primarily, vampires are creatures of the night. They have fangs and draw blood from the necks of their victims. Consequently, once a victim of a Vampire’s bite then that person, will, in turn become a vampire themselves…

  18. Writing to describe When writing to describe you must: • Use descriptive language such as adjectives and similes • Use complex sentences which are long and have lots of detail in them • Use the correct punctuation and spelling • Use paragraphs with connectives • Extend your vocabulary to make your work more interesting • Build a real picture of what it is that you are describing so that the reader can imagine it too

  19. Writing to describe Describe the following (in only 5-10 paragraphs): A haunted house in the woods on a dark, stormy night

  20. Sample Writing to describe The night was so dark, the black penetrated everything. Even the moon was almost completely concealed by dense cloud, it was as if the world had been struck blind. The wood at the far edge of the village was wild, the trees were being tossed from side to side like bones. The wind howled mercilessly and the rain beat down. At regular intervals the dark world was lit up, momentarily, by lightning as it forked like the devil across the sky. Thunder crashed ominously like a large beating heart. In the very heart of the woods, the house stood. It had been deserted for years now and was rotting rapidly. It was a local legend, a place where kids went to hang out on dares; a place where screams were silenced quickly…

  21. Writing to argue, persuade, adviseWriting to advise When writing to advise you should: • Use paragraphs and connectives • Concentrate on your spelling and punctuation • Extend your vocabulary by using a thesaurus • Be sympathetic and sensible • Offer sensible solutions • Make sure that you can be understood, that your writing is clear

  22. Writing to advise The task: A teenager has written to a magazine advice column, they are worried because they have just moved into a new house and it is haunted. What would you advise them to do Plan your work, turn each arm on your brainstorm into a paragraph

  23. Sample writing to advise Firstly, you should tell an adult. However, if your parents do not believe you then you should go to a teacher or to the local priest. In addition, to this it would be good if you could obtain some evidence which will prove that your ‘ghostly visitor’ does exist…

  24. Writing to argue The main thing about writing to argue is that, although most of your writing will be about the side that you agree with, you must acknowledge the other point of view… Task: Horror films should be banned Write a formal letter to the BBFC agreeing or disagreeing with this.

Task: write a formal speech persuading a group of teenagers not to go into the Haunted Woods on Halloween night (the woods are frightening, many people have gone into the woods and have never returned…)

  30. Writing to persuade Brainstorm all of the things that you will say to the teenagers in order to convince them not to go: Hints: Use strong, shocking, emotional language Use shocking statistics Repeat key points Speak directly to them Refer to any eye witness accounts Each arm on the brainstorm will become a paragraph in your speech.

  35. Writing to analyseGhosts do not exist Turn each thing that you have come up with into a paragraph. Don’t forget to add on your introduction and your conclusion

  36. Writing to comment When writing to comment you are not writing about all sides of a possible topic but you are only writing about all the sides that you tend to feel are important Comment on the film Premonition and whether you think that premonitions can actually exist.
