LC: To plan and write an innovated newspaper article based on a modelled write.
Task 1: Revisit Thursday's imitation writing on Norris the Cat and read through your work.
Task 2: Today you are going to change some of the details in your imitation writing.
Notorious Norris, the cat burglar steals jewellery, stationary, food and kitchen supplies from unsuspecting victims!
A local cat, Norris has turned to a life of crime. He began by stealing food from local bins. His actions have now escalated to stealing from neighbours’ homes, stealing clothes and women’s underwear from washing lines and entering and exiting from neighbours’ cat flaps, windows and open doors at night. His embarrassed owners have had to write to the local neighbourhood in Stoneyholme apologising for their cat’s bad behaviour.
One local resident, Mr Hussain stated, “Last Thursday, when I returned to my washing line in the evening, I was shocked to see that all my pants had been stolen. I wondered if they had blown away but then I received a letter from my neighbour telling me their cat had brought home 7 pairs of my pants! I thought it was funny.”
Local residents are still shocked that the perpetrator of their missing items is Norris the cat. Mr and Mrs Windsor have started ignoring Norris when he arrives home from a night of looting in the hope that he’ll soon drop the bad habit.
However, in the meantime, they have also requested that if anyone has items disappear mysteriously overnight, to contact them immediately.
Task 3: Now using the imitation modelled write, independently write your opening, quote and ending paragraph with your new choices.
