Into the Shadows: A Haunting Prelude
As the storm raged on, the caravan provided a false sense of security against the brewing danger outside. The atmosphere was thick with tension and impending doom, painted vividly with figurative language and powerful adjectives. Through the flickering candlelight, a sense of foreboding grew alongside the encroaching darkness outside, setting the stage for what was to come.

THURSDAY 7THMAY 2020 WALT: WRITE A BUILD UP TO A WARNING STORY WILF: I CAN CREATE ATMOSPHERE IN MY STORY I CAN USE A RANGE OF LITERACY DEVICES
WHAT IS THE BUILD UP IN THE CARAVAN STORY That afternoon, a storm raged. It had been brewing all morning. The trees were like crazed zombies thrashing wildly. Rain lashed down, drumming on the metal roof. Inside the caravan it felt safe, almost cosy really. We shoved newspaper into any cracks to keep out the wind. I d found a bit of old carpet and Connor had brought along some cushions that his Mum had thrown out. He d also found a candle and in the semi-gloom its flame flickered with a cheerful glow. Outside dusk shadowed the bushes. Soon the streetlights would come on, casting orange pools of light
UNPICKING THE INTRODUCTION In the build up I have highlighted the features that you must include in your build up. Your build up needs to build up to your dilemma so you need to create tension and set a scene where something bad will happen, for example the beginnings of a storm. Figurative language, such as, similes, metaphors and personification- this helps to build a picture in the readers mind Adjectives for description- throughout the introduction there are lots of adjectives to describe the setting- this is needed so that the reader can picture the setting and to create the atmosphere and tension
MODEL That afternoon, a storm was brewing. Rain was beginning to lash down. We were fine though, we were tucked up nice and safe in the ruins of the old station. We had blankets and cushions to make it feel cosy; and even some board games to give us something to do. It was a real home from home. Through the window we could see it becoming darker and darker and a smell of thunder hung in the air. Soon the streetlights would come on casting beams of brilliant light. It was at that moment we heard the sky roar with thunder.
TASK Write your introduction to your own warning story. Make sure you include: Figurative language Powerful adjectives And make sure you are creating an atmosphere. You want the reader to be able to feel what the characters are feeling. Remember to make it engaging and that you build up to the problem in your story don t introduce the problem yet.
