Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can write a section of the build-up of ‘The Borrowers’.

Show transcript
In this section of the build-up, the suspense heightens when Arrietty encounters the eye of a human “bean”. The use of precise and ambitious vocabulary, including ‘show and tell’ language supports the building of suspense. Rhetorical questions can be used to convey a character’s inner thoughts. A fronted adverbial of time, place or manner indicates when, where or how action in the rest of a sentence takes place. Using a range of sentence types supports text flow.
