The Midnight Gang Watch/listen to the first two chapters – up to 13:15 mins:
How is the start of this book similar to the others that we have looked at this week? How is it different?
Look back at all the extracts that you have read this week. Look at the way David Walliams presents his writing, e.g. Aaaaaaarrrggghhh, B A N G !
Why do you think he does this? What effect does this have on you, the reader?
Now watch The Midnight Gang Film.
Note: PG certificate. (Watch from 2:40 mins until 6:20 mins) You are going to write the scene that you have watched in your own words - IN PURPLE MASH (2do Midnight gang recount). Think about the events that have happened since Tom entered the children’s ward.
Things to think about
write in 3rd person (he, she, they)
write in the past tense
include some of your Year 4 skills, e.g. fronted adverbials for where or when
include speech and remember to use speech punctuation properly
use some of the David Walliams style of writing, e.g. larger words for effect.
After you have finished, read your writing out loud and check for spelling and punctuation.
