Prologue
PROLOGUE
Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whole misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

Prologues
 Prologues
are the beginnings of stories
and plays.
 They help us to understand what has
happened before so that we read the story
from its first point knowing how the
characters got there.
 Look at Shakespeare’s opening for Romeo
and Juliet: he tells the whole story in
fourteen lines.
Your Prologue

You should introduce the
situation – rumours about
Kraznir’s attack.
 How the team was
chosen, by you or the
Queen?
 Introduce yourself
 Describe yourself and
explain why you have
been chosen as the
leader.
 Describe the members of
the team
In the dungeon…

Using adjectives and
your five senses,
describe what it is like
for you in the
dungeon…
 Is it dark, scary,
echoic? Can you feel
damp walls? Can you
taste the fear
creeping in your
mouth?
Task:
 Write
two paragraphs, with four/five lines
in each
 Describe what the dungeon is like…using
your five senses
 Tell me what you and your army members
will be doing in the dungeon
 Mention each of your characters as well as
your self. Include their personalities.
Example of an opening paragraph
 The
dungeon was cold and damp, like a
freezer. They heard a hundred thousand
rats scuttling underneath their feet. They
walked along the path, stumbling on the
cobbles and fell against the slimy green
walls.
The Escape




You have your maps in front of
you.
You need to decide your best
route of escape: choose
carefully as one wrong move
could spell disaster.
You have a heavy wooden box
to carry. How to carry it is your
choice and your command.
You may consult others but
remember, you are the leader
and ultimate responsibility is
yours.
The Escape

Remember, you have
a long way to go –
you will need food.
 As part of your
escape plan choose a
route out of the castle
that will allow you to
steal some food.
Leaving Castle Krill


It is important that you
carefully record your
escape from this point.
Should you fail, others
will use your journal for
another attempt.
Make sure you include
details and diagrams,
Remember Slinsil is
counting on you
Adverbs
 An
adverb describes a verb: it describes
how the verb behaves. For example:
 ‘he
ran slowly’
 Slowly
is our adverb because it is telling
us how the verb moved, ‘he ran slowly’,
the boy was not running quick, he was
slow.
Adverbs

Pick the adverb from the following sentences:

The girl smiled nervously when her mum
questioned her.
 The boy grinned happily after he was given a
present.
 The light shone feebly into the room.
 Sally laughed heartily with her friends.

So, to recap, we use adverbs:
 to say how something happens
'The family walked (how?) quickly.'
Adverbs
 Now
change these two sentences, putting
in adverbs to make them more exciting:
 The
boys walked on the beach to get an
ice-cream.
 Sarah
screamed when she saw the puppy
devouring his food.
Read this passage…

Harry looked nothing like the rest of his family.
Uncle Vernon was large and neckless, with an
enormous black moustache; Aunt Petuina was
horse-faced and bony; Dudley was blonde, pink
and porky. Harry, on the other hand, was small
and skinny, with brilliant green eyes and jet black
hair that was always untidy.
 At the age of one, Harry had survived a curse
from the greatest dark sorcerer of all time, Lord
Voldermort. His parents had died in
Voldermort’s attack, but Harry had escaped with
his lightning scar, and nobody knew why.
Noun Phrases

A noun phrase is the subject of a sentence that has a
noun or a pronoun in it. It can exist on its own or can
have a verb phrase following it.

A pronoun is a small word that can be used instead of a
noun (a person, place or thing) when it is already clear
who or what you are talking about.

John has broken his leg. He’ll be in hospital for a week.
He will be late for school every day. red= pronoun.


Eg: The dog
= noun phrase
The big dog
= noun phrase
The big dog
ran for the bone.
Noun phrase / verb phrase.

Therefore, a noun phrase precedes a verb phrase.


Day Two





You have escaped from
the castle.
You are high up in the
mountains with only the
clouds for company.
You hear noises: they get
louder.
Krill has sent some of his
followers to find you
Task: Using adverbs, tell
me how you and your
army escape the strange
animals
Day Two

It is the followers of Krill.
 He has sent Giant
Spiders, Wargs or Orcs.
 Decide how you are
going to defeat them.
 Do all of your company
survive?
 Remember, this may be
the only way for your
army to defeat Krill.
 Target: make writing
exciting by using adverbs.
Put into order…1 – 3 (1 = most
important)
 Food
and water is the most important thing
required to survive.
 Warmth is the most important thing
required to survive.
 Social interaction is the most important
thing required to survive.
 Explain
your answer.
Day Three

At last you have left
the mountains and
reached the River
Glin.
 The river flows fast
and is very deep: you
cannot swim across.
 Luckily you have
found a small boat.
Day Three : the River Crossing



You have to work out the
shortest number of trips
to ferry the whole party
and its luggage across.
Don’t forget you need two
people to cross the river –
the boat cannot row and
steer itself.
Krill has put a spell on
you and your
companions- magic will
not work near water…
Opening Paragraph: Day Three
 They
staggered towards the muddy, wet,
soggy bank. As they gazed at the
ferocious river, they all flopped down on
the grassy patch. Littlejohn shivered as the
gust of wind blew at him but Touchfire
smiled exhaustedly as he saw a boat in
the distance. Daughty groaned as they
dragged themselves towards it.
The Journal

Now it is more
important than ever to
keep your journal.
 This horrific event
must never threaten
anyone else and you
hold the key for future
safety.

something terrible
happens:

or a Margatroth or a
Balrog.
All of them

The dragon is 16 metres long and like most dragons , breathes
flame. It can kill by burning pr crunching its victims in its jaws, The
wizard can sometimes can calm it. It can be killed by a warrior’s
sword – if he can get close enough.
The Margatroth is a huge creature with two heads one at each end.
It has fierce teeth and six legs. It is very dangerous to all living
things except hobbits. They are two small for the Margatroth to see
easily. I t can only be killed by cutting off one of its two heads.
The Balrog’s body is made of fire. It can glow dully or
flame brilliantly. The only weapon you use against it is
water. The only water you is a small supply of drinking
water, and you are in the middle of a desert, There is
one chink of hope, the Balrog only moves quite slowly,
Defeating the Dragon (animal of
choice)
 The
army were walking miles without food.
If it wasn’t bad enough, the army heard a
shriek. Touchfire fainted from fatigue.
Daughty groaned as he knew he had
another thing to carry. Then they saw a
flare of fire coming from where they heard
the scream: a dragon took off into the air/
a brilliant golden flame burst in front of
them! A dragon!

Linking between paragraphs
 In
pairs, find ways to link the words ‘lion’
and ‘bus.’
 What
does it mean to link paragraphs?
 Today,
our focus is going to link each of
our paragraphs and also, each of our
chapters.
Day Five

At last you have reached
the Forest of Haag.You
have to find your way
through this thick and
dangerous forest. On the
other side is the river Slin
and freedom. The forest
is the home of the evil
magician, Nehemath. If
any one passes through
the forest he becomes
very angry and tries to
stop them

Four paragraphs, with
only 5 lines per
paragraph.
Forest of Haag

Up ahead, we could see a huge green forest. It
was dark and gloomy: we could hear our
footsteps crackling on the ground. As we were
walking through the forest, we realised this was
Nehemath’s terrority because we could hear his
evil laughter. But, we realised he wasn’t
laughing; he was chanting a spell! (linking
sentence)
 Highlight your next linking sentence (in margin,
explain to me how it is linking both paragraphs)
The End

And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final
curtain.
My friend, I’ll say it clear,
I’ll state my case, of
which I’m certain.
I’ve lived a life thats full.
I’ve traveled each and
evry highway;
And more, much more
than this,
I did it my way.
EPILOGUE

What happened next?

Did you stay in Slinsil,
marry the queen and
live happily ever
after?

Did Krill take out a
contract on you?
 …………….?
12 months later…


When we got back to our country, everyone went
their separate ways: Touchfire married the Queen
because she was very proud of him; Daughty was
Knighted; Littlejohn became Head of Slimsil Army;
Athor sadly passed away two weeks after the war
ended. His funeral was the biggest event in Slimsil
history. What about me? I travelled across three
continents and eventually settled in Arnia, Northern
Hemisphere.
As for Slimsil and Kraznir, they are both at peace
now after Krill was stabbed in the heart by Athor.
Everyone is living a very happy and prosperous life.
