Organise, vary sentence length, punctuate

3. What sort of writing is this?

4. Planning:
Storyboard? Flow chart? Time line? Your choice really. Remember to use some key words or phrases even at this stage.
Remember the features for creating tension from earlier this term.
Remember to punctuate for tension. Dashes are wonderful for creating images – suddenly!

Now swap with your neighbour…
