Original Victorian Story from Daneel in 5E

This week in Literacy, Year 5 have been adapting Street Child to create our own Victorian stories. Below is Daneel's beginning. What will happen next? How will he feel in the workhouse?

On one desolate day, Didbia Prosper, who was lingering near a famous footbal shop, and was looking at an significant ball which cost 20 pounds, instead of trying to buy the ball, he actually stole it! Although it was very expensive, it was an artificial ball. 

At the end of the day, Didbia traipsed home with the ball. Then, he had suddenly discovered that his ma had died! His dad was finding it incredibly hard to look after him and his son. Would they cope for long? Before long, time had gone by and the time was: 20:00! 

Suddenly and unexpectedly, a policeman arrived at their tattered house. He announced to Didbia and his father: “I have been stooped by an old man, who told me that he had seen a mysterious boy holding a blue ball." The policeman pointed his finger of suspicion at Dibbia. "I know it was you! Come on, we‘re going to the workhouse to so that you can pay for what you have DONE! If you do not go, there will be serious consequences!"

  1. I like the rhetorical question in this extract of your narrative writing Daneel. To improve your writing further, re-read your work and ensure that it makes sense.

  2. WOW! What an exciting beginning to a story, Daneel!

    We really liked how you used ambitious vocabulary, for example: significant. We also thought that you ended on a cliff hanger! We really want to know what happens next.

    Next time it would be even better if you added more description to the events in your writing.
