For the next two days you will have a creative writing task. Today you will plan and start to write you story and tomorrow you will finish your story. This is your task:

Time Travel
One evening you go to your computer and accidentally press one of the keys you have never pressed before. Suddenly you are transported into a different time! Your task is to write about where you travel to, what the place is like, who you meet and how you manage to get home again.

Planning Questions
Where did you travel to and what form did your transport/journey take? (Remember: You can travel back or forwards in time.) What is the place you visit like? Who do you meet? What are they like? How do you manage to get back home?

In your writing you could:
Describe the setting/period of time that you travel to;
Describe the thoughts and feelings of the person or people involved;
Try to make your reader share the experience through your choice of words and sentences.

In your writing you should:
Make your writing interesting for your reader – use verbs, adverbs and adjectives to achieve effects;
Present your ideas clearly, organising your writing into paragraphs;
Write using accurate grammar, spelling and punctuation;
Include an interesting beginning and ending for your writing.
