Use a Thinking Map to explore your favourite story, movie or video game. Show connections between the characters, settings and plot. Find the Thinking Maps here.

Write a prequel or sequel to your favourite story, movie or computer game. What happened before or after the events in the original? Don't forget to include elements of surprise, suspense and humour. Illustrate the chapters of your story.

Mr Burgess has heard that schools in other countries have different length school days. He wants to know what the advantages and disadvantages of a longer and shorter day might be. Write him a letter explaining why a change might be a good and a bad idea. Use balanced arguments - Find out the features of a balanced argument here.

Write a guide for spotting witches. Use 'The Witches' by Roald Dahl as inspiration - but you can add your own ideas too. Include stories of witch encounters, just like the Grandmother in the story tells. Maybe you could include some maps and charts showing further information about witches. There is a link to an audio version of the story below.

Expand your guide to other mythical beings - werewolves, vampires, ghouls, etc

Holes Write a diary entry after your last day at Camp Green Lake.

Create a tourism poster to advertise Green Lake (past setting) - make sure you sell the town to potential visitors. tell them why they should come!

Create a guide to surviving Camp Green Lake - Think about subheadings to write about. Write it in the first person (I, me) telling new campmates how they will get through their time there. Add pictures, drawings and diagrams to explain things.

Write a new short story based on Holes. Imagine you are trapped in a place you don't want to be. What did you have to do there? How did you escape or leave?

We were reading The Witches in class. While of course if won't be the same without my 'Grand High Witch' voice making you jump, you can listen to the rest of the story here. We were part way through chapter 14, or you could listen from the start again! Remember to watch out for witches!
