Lesson starters. Dinosaurs. Writing a horror story. 4

Description

This is a stimulus for writing a horror story KS2 English. It can be shown on an interactive whiteboard and used as a lesson starter. A boy reads about dinosaurs in his storybook, then sets off to the museum to see the dinosaur skeletons. There is a sense of restlessness in the museum today; it feels like something important is about to happen. The old dinosaur fossils seem to be glaring down at the boy. He can almost imagine them coming to life … The clip should be of particular relevance to teachers who are focusing on story setting, plot or the adventure story genre. It could be used in a cross-curriculum project on dinosaurs.
