listening for footsteps.

🐾 Mission 3: The Disappearing Capybara
Your story prompt:
During a school excursion, you spot a tiny capybara
wearing a golden crown. It whispers,
“Help! My home is disappearing!”
Then the classroom door turns into a glowing portal...
Your challenge: Unlike a story that stops at
the exciting moment, this story must have a complete
beginning, problem, action and ending.
Step 1: Plan your story
Step 2: Write your complete story
Target: 130–200 words, in at least
3 paragraphs. Include dialogue, a strong verb,
and a moment that shows a character's feelings.
0 words
Story self-correction guide
Read your story again and check each question.
Example of a developed ending
“The final crystal!” I cried, pressing it into
the empty stone. The forest shimmered back into view.
The capybara's paws stopped trembling, and it grinned
beneath its crooked golden crown. I stepped back
through the portal just as the school bell rang.
This is an example ending, not a complete model story.
Your ending should match your own plot.
Your editing challenge: If the problem is not
clearly solved, revise your ending before finishing.
🎤 Mission 4: Convince Your Reader
Topic:
Should every school have a special day when
students can choose their own learning activities?
In recent lessons, you've used reasons and examples
well. This time, make sure you also explain
WHY each reason matters.
Step 1: Plan your argument
Remember R–E–E: R — Reason E — Explain why it matters E — Give a specific example
Avoid repeating the same idea.
Step 2: Write your persuasive piece
Target: 100–160 words, in 4 paragraphs:
Introduction
Reason 1, explanation and example
Reason 2, explanation and example
Conclusion
Use firstly, secondly, for example, therefore
where appropriate.
0 words
Reason–Explain–Example model
Reason:
Students should have a choice because they can
explore their interests.
Explain:
This matters because students may feel more
motivated when learning about something they enjoy.
Example:
For example, a student interested in animals could
research wildlife and present their discoveries
to the class.
This is one possible argument. Disagreeing
is also a valid position.
Self-correction checklist
