This week is National Storytelling Week. Year 5 had a zoom with the author Tola Okogwu, who has written written Onyeka, among 15 other books!
Tola talked through her step-by-step guide on how to create ideas for stories. In today’s webinar, we built an origin story for a person with super powers. The three main ingredients we needed for this was the person, the place and the problem.
Here are some of the creative ideas Year 5 came up with:
- a boy with the power of moon and sun (night vision and fire)
- people with telekinesis
- a girl with super speed
- a boy who could shrink into different sizes
- a girl with extremely long hair
- a boy who can control time
- a boy with a super jump
- a girl who can camouflage
- a boy who is super strong
Help at home: Encourage your child to write their story using their ideas from today.
