Story without a middle


There are three main parts to a story:

The BEGINNING says where and when a story happens and who the people or
characters are.

The MIDDLE tells what happens to these people.

The CONCLUSION tells how the story ends

Read the story below. It has a beginning and a conclusion but no middle.

Sally sat at the back of the classroom, looking out of the window. She didn't hear what
the teacher said because she was thinking about her big problem.........

Sally jumped up and ran to the phone. She just knew everything was going to be alright
again.

expecting a phone call

call from her parents who could possibly help him

Advertisements
Advertisements are written to try and make us buy something. The words in an
advertisement give us a very clear idea of the product, and really make us want to have
it. Look at this example of an advertisement for ice cream:
"Cool, delicious Strawberry Surprise. What could be
nicer on a hot summer's day?"

Imagine that you are an advertiser who is trying to get people to try a new car. Type ten
words that can be used to describe cars (you can use your dictionary!):

WORDS
1. beautiful 6. fast

2. only 7. legitimate

3. powerful 8. unparalleled

4. amazing 9. different

5. authentic 10. delivered

Using some of your words from above and write an advert for a car in the space below.
Beautiful, unparalleled, legitimate and unique is the most beautiful car in the
world

space.

r d y s

Name are used to describe people, places or things. Many American cities have
nicknames. They can help create identities, build unity and help people feel a sense of
pride in their community.

Some years ago, marketing and advertising experts were asked to choose the best
nickname for an American city. The winner was the nations biggest city, New York. The
nickname they chose was The Big Apple.

Where did the nickname Big Apple originally come from? In the nineteen seventies,
New York suffered from image problems. The number of visitors was falling. A
campaign was launched to give the city a new image and a new nickname. The New
York board chose the nickname The Big Apple
It was not the first time the nickname had been used to describe the city. A journalist for
a New York newspaper had used the name The Big Apple to describe New York in
the nineteen twenties.

The Big Apple was also the nicknames of a night club in the Harlem area of New York
City in the nineteen thirties, as well as the name of a popular dance and hit song
around that time.

The Big Apple is not the only nickname for Americas biggest city. Almost one hundred
nicknames that describe New York have been recorded. Some of the best known
nicknames for New York are The Capital of the World, Empire City, Gotham, The
City So Nice They Named it Twice and The City That Never Sleeps.
