Narrative planning template

Title: Needs to grab readers attention and give an idea of what the story is about.	Imagination is everything The story is about a little boy, who doesn’t imagine but is just plain, and dull. He isn’t like all children, who have imaginary friends, knows how to describe things clearly with creativity. His friends plan to take him to a wonderful, creative and crazy place!. This place is at Ambury farm. The little boy(Riley), thinks that it is just an ordinary farm with cows, goats, chickens, roosters,etc. But no, the farm is abnormal, with talking animals, leprechauns. You can even stand on the water, and the electric fences create popcorn, anything the boys imagine, everything comes true.
Orientation: How will your story start? Where? When? Who?	Riley is at home being is boring self, as his friends are in the backyard playing games and being giddy. They see that Riley is no fun and dull, so they seek an interesting plan to change his emotions, from dull to euphoric. They want Riley to be more imaginative and creative.
Beginning Event: What events are going to take place? What problem are your characters going to face?	His friends take him to Ambury farm, where they stand in front of the farm sign. Written in big handwriting, a quote stood still, “Imagination is everything”. They roam around the farm, yet everything seems still ordinary. Until they reach the meadow part of the farm, where the sheep, bulls, cows and sheep lived. They journeyed through the meadow admiring the view, when they spotted an area on the field which was a different grass colour from the rest of the grass. They all stepped on the odd grass, and a powerful wind washed over the whole farm. This leads to the animals talking, leprechauns, having the ability to walk on the water, practically anything you can imagine. But Riley’s thoughts, were all dark, turning the white fluffy sheep into a black sheep, the friendly leprechauns into feisty ones, and the great summer weather into a rainy, gloomy atmosphere.   The problem is, when the boys give up trying to help Riley, Riley couldn’t exit with them. A force field kept him in. The boy’s start to wonder why he couldn’t leave, for they had done it before. Riley's thoughts, dark and gloomy, spread throughout the farm, making matters for him worse. Riley just couldn’t escape!!.
Resolution: How will your characters solve the problem?	The boys come to realise that the problem is Riley. He wasn’t imaginative enough, that he wasn’t able to leave. They looked at the Ambury farm sign, at the very bottom in miniature handwriting, there was a little note, “ Come in with gloominess leave with joy”. That’s when it clicked. They did some imagining exercises with Riley. Step by step, Riley started to brighten up. The atmosphere of the farm, enlivened. Everything turned back to it’s abnormal peculiar self. They then learn that it’s better to have a balance of emotions, even if dullness is one of them.
Ending: How will the story finish? Where will the characters end up?	Billy and his friends enjoyed their happy and bemused days together. Everything was bright, heavenly and joyous. That was till they met a boy, as dim as Riley had been. They look at each other sighing, it was up to them to  boost his imagination to a whole new level. The end sentence might go like this, “Oh no…..here we go again”.  BAM! finished!.

What is it?_Descriptive writing

Our writing task was to write a descriptive writing about a object placed on the table. See if you can identify the mystery object!.

I beheld a cubed figure from a distant. It drew me closer, wide eyed. My first view of it, white, thick and luscious surface, with piped light bubble gum patterns running along the top rim. The bubble gum shaded icing being polished and shaped perfectly, but very delicate. Below the rim of pink deliciousness, the white surface continues downside, this time with striped rugged lines running  from one side to the other.

It’s cubed, uneven shape ruins the surprise of goodness!. The velvet face is exposed on the front, and both sides of it. Though the sight seems alluring, one touch as dry and solid as a brick wall. The velvety goodness is interrupted by a broad layer of brown, aromatic, desirable chocolate. It is sandwiched with another bed of velvet, but still visible.

Beads of velvet, sit impatiently on the gleamy glass surface. Alongside on the velvet, lies droplets of the bubble gum shaded cream. Both blemish the glass surface, giving the impression of messiness.

Other than the lack of effort in appearance, nothing can take away the bitter sweet aroma. The only thing worthy of being tempted by. But it just sat there, teasing me with it’s heavenly scent, knowing that I couldn’t do anything but watch in awe. And so I did

Woods description

This is my description about a imaginary woods that I am pretending to walk through.

Into the Woods

Twisted and wrinkled trees surrounded my shadowed face. Sinister glares shot at me like bullets. The gentle breeze brushed against my frozen skin, giving my bone cheek a tickle. The stars above shone beautifully like a Goddess disguised as the night. The scent of mouldy mushrooms filled the air like toxic fumes. Shadows crept around leaving no trace yet a sign. Suddenly a sturdy voice left me frozen on the spot, echoes bounced off the old trees and into my ears which sent a shiver down my spine. A shock travelled through my body like lightning that had struck my bones, I was scared out of my wits. It felt as if I were paralysed until the voices vanished in my head and I knew there was nothing there but me. The forest fell into silence, all that was heard was the relief in my breath and the trees rustling around. I felt stunned, startled but satisfied as well.
