Which story did you like from yesterday?

What did you like about the story?

Take a few minutes to record your responses in your home learning book.

We are going to start our lesson today by reading a few of the different stories from Short together.

Let’s start with ‘In the Back Seat.

Now, let’s answer these questions:

1: What is the ‘twist’ in the story?

2: Did the title give you a clue to what was happening?

3: How surprised were you by the ending?

Jot down your responses in your home learning book.

Here are some possible responses:

1: What is the ‘twist’ in the story?

The twist was that the man flashing Rachel wasn’t the danger.

2: Did the title give you a clue to what was happening?

Yes, it signals there is danger in the back seat.

3: How surprised were you by the ending?

Very! It is scary to think someone was in the car wanting to hurt her!

Now, let’s look at ‘The Hook’.

Let’s look at the questions below:

1:What did you think about the scratching noise at first?

2: Why do you think that the writer made Sam’s character

seem unconcerned?



1:What did you think about the scratching noise at first?

I thought it could be a fox or a nocturnal animal.

2: Why do you think that the writer made Sam’s character

seem unconcerned?

He wanted to seem calm to impress Becky.

And finally, let’s look at ‘Who’s Who’.

Let’s look at the questions below:

1: What do you think Jack was thinking and feeling as he sat

on the wall?

2:How did you feel?



1: What do you think Jack was thinking and feeling as he sat

on the wall?

I think he was bored to begin with then scared once the

‘ghost’ sat down next to him.

2:How did you feel?

It made me think that Jack deserved what he got because

he didn’t believe.

What genre do you think all three stories were?

What genre do you think all three stories were?

That’s right – they were all horror and had a very spooky feel to them!

Features of Horror Stories

These are stories which are intended to be a bit scary but still be fun.

Setting

- sometimes obviously spooky: haunted house, graveyard, old building, anywhere

isolated

- sometimes everyday location which feels safe, then it all goes wrong: shops, home,

party

Characters

- main character: vulnerable, often careless or curious, not able to get help easily

- scary characters: ghosts, monsters, witches, vampires, werewolves, 2-dimensional

villains

Plot

- main character gets into danger and must escape or perish!

- main character experiences something strange and investigates…then must escape or

perish!

- an everyday situation becomes increasingly scary until a danger is revealed and must

be escaped

Structure

- Opening: character(s) introduced, hints at the problem (dialogue, action or description)

- Build up: problem/danger occurs; scary character reveals themselves or gets closer

- Climax: moment of greatest danger, secrets uncovered, battle or escape attempt

- Resolution: main character escapes or meets a sticky end (not too sticky!) – may be a

final twist

Language

Features

- descriptive language to build suspense (including relative clauses and adverbials of

manner)

- short sentences for impact

- adverbials of time, place and number for cohesion

Your task today is to read the first five paragraphs of the short story ‘ Room

for One More’.
