Legend Openings
This week, we have investigated the openings of different legends.
By the end of the week, we were writing our own examples. We learned that the openings of legends contain a hero and a villain (sometimes just one!), details of the setting and a traditional opening. They may also contain a clue as to the plot ahead (but not too much of one as this should be left until later on!).
Post a legend opening here. Who will write the best one?
Long ago she was going to get food for here tribe on a daily basis. One evening she decided to surprise the howl village so she got up and spent two hours cooking for the village. She went back to sleep. When she woke up she saw some thing unreal…
Hello Mia.
First, a couple of spellings – “her” not “here” and “whole” not “howl”.
I wonder what it was that she saw? Was it something to do with the food?
I wonder who the villain is?
I’m so sorry my spelling was wrong because of spelling correct
I’m sorry I forgot to turn it of
That’s ok Mia!
Back in the ancient times, there lived a villager named Harry that worked day and night on the village farm to feed its few inhabitants. The village was surrounded by many mountains and forests that towered over the small village. Up in these mountains, there lived a dreadful, horrible and disgusting ogre, that would sneak down to the village right at midnight, and steal all the villagers crops, and poor old Harry had to replace them every, single, morning.
Great opening Ben.
I wonder why the ogre was stealing the villager’s crops?
long ago on a morning the women was getting a bucket of water but saw somethink and sobbed with fright and dropped the bucket with fright
Don’t forget to start each sentence with a capital letter. Before the word “morning” you need an adjective to describe it – it sounds like you have mised one out. “Something” not “somethink”! Could you avoid repetition of the word “fright”?
long ago lived a brave knight who prected a castel
Don’t forget to start your sentence with a capital letter.
Protected and castle.
Love the use of “long ago”. A traditional opening as we usually find in legends.
Why is the ogoa stepping the crop,s
Perhaps the ogre is stealing the crops so that they can have them for themselves?
