Year 8 Writing homework

Your task is to create a short episode that could 'fit in' to a copy of Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.

In it, Cassie will enter the local General Store, buy a new pencil, and leave.

Your task will be to engage the reader's sympathies with Cassie, and focus their antipathies on the shopkeeper; the shopkeeper will not hurt, offend or obstruct Cassie in any way.

Think about:
  • how you can convey subtle attitudes;
  • how you describe character's appeances, actions, or gestures;
  • your use of adjectives.

Try to ensure that your spelling, punctuation and grammar are as accurate as possible!

Length: c. 2 sides

Due date: Friday, 19 September
