Answers may vary. Many years ago when the Romans conquered England, there lived a boy called Marcus and his sister, Flavius. One day they discovered that their father’s helmet was missing so they decided to find it. First they looked in the house, then they looked in the garden and after that they looked in the bathhouse but it was not to be found. Later that day they searched the basilica and the next day they searched the forum but the helmet was not there. In the end they looked in the temple and it was there that they finally found it!

Historical stories are set in the past, often long ago. The setting of the story and the characters match the chosen time in history.
Sven the Small
It was cold and windy on Odin’s Bluff. Sven was looking for somewhere to hide. But he wasn’t playing hide and seek. Sven was hiding because he was different.
He wasn’t strong like his brother Gundar, and he wasn’t tall like his best friend Erak. His father, Nils, was the leader of the Vikings, as mean and as fierce as they came. Little Sven, on the other hand, was kind and gentle.
“Perhaps one day I’ll grow up to be a real Viking,” thought Sven. But he didn’t really believe it.
Then came the day that Sven hated the most. It was the day of the Viking games, when all the children challenged each other to acts of strength and bravery. But little Sven was neither strong nor brave. He was the most unlikely Viking you could ever meet.
“Come on Sven Nilsson!” called Erak. “It’s your turn to toss the oar.” Of all the games, this was the worst.

Sven gulped and wiped his hands on his leather jerkin. Slowly he bent his knees and lifted the oar up. “By Thor’s hammer! I’m actually doing …” Sven didn’t get to finish his thought before he dropped the oar right on his big toe. “EEOOOWWW!!” he bellowed. In fact, he bellowed so loudly that the timbers in the long ships shook.
As Sven hopped around, holding his throbbing toe, people began to clap and cheer. “Well done, Sven!” said Erak, slapping him on the back. “You’ve won!”
“How can I have won? I dropped the thing on my toe!” replied Sven.
It was then that Erak told Sven he hadn’t won the oar toss, but instead, he had won the yelling competition. Sven smiled at that. He was a real Viking after all!

Writing a Historical Story
2C Worksheet
Imaginative Texts
Historical Narrative
There are three important things to do when you write a historical story:• Find out what life was like in the time you are writing about.• Use real settings, not made up ones.• Give the characters names that match that time in history.
Historical stories are told in time order. They start with what happened first, then what happened next and then what happened in the end.
Connectives are words and phrases that help tell a story in time order. Connectives link ideas together between sentences and paragraphs.
1 Choose seven connectives from the box to fill in the gaps.
Many years ago when the Romans conquered England,
there lived a boy called Marcus and his sister, Flavius.
One day they discovered that their father’s helmet was
missing so they decided to find it.
they looked in the house,
they looked in the garden
and they looked in the
bath house but it was not to be found.
they searched the basilica and
they searched the forum but the helmet was
not there. they looked in the temple and it was
there that they found it!
• after • after a while • after that • eventually
• finally • first • in the end
• later that day • much later • next
• the next day • then • years later

Historical stories use words that match the time in which the story is set. For example:
• forum – a Roman word for an open space used for markets
• chariot – a cart with two wheels that is pulled by horses
• hulk – an old ship used as a prison in England
Draw lines to match these historical words to their meanings. One has been done for you. You can use a dictionary to help.
• lad – a dog
• bonnet – a sword often used by pirates
• doublet – a young boy
• pantaloons – long pants or trousers
• cutlass – a man with red hair
• lass – a pretty hat
• perambulator – money, means ‘three pence’
• bluey – a young girl
• hound – a pram for a baby
• thruppence – a man’s waistcoat

A historical story tells us about something that has happened in the past. The verbs in the story (doing words) are written in the past tense. For example:
Then came the day that Sven hated the most. It was the day of the Viking games, when all the children challenged each other to acts of strength and bravery.
1 Cross out the incorrect verb in each pair of brackets to complete this description.

Imaginative texts focus on entertaining the reader; thrilling them, scaring them or making them laugh.
Each type of imaginative text has slightly different needs, but below you will find a general revision frame.
Criteria Rating 1–5 (1 = always,
5 = rarely)
Ideas for revision
1. Title – Is it interesting? Does it introduce the story?
2. Beginning – Does it grab the reader’s interest?
3. Sentences – Have I used complete sentences? Is there one idea in each sentence?
4. Words – Have I used interesting words? Are there adjectives to describe characters and settings? Are there interesting verbs? Have I used conjunctions and connectives?
5. Ending – Does it tell what happened in the end?
6. Is my punctuation correct?
7. Have I used a dictionary or a friend to check my spelling?

PICTOMINOES A game for 4–6 players
Goal: Students build word knowledge and understand the concept of sentences through a domino-style card game. They use cloze procedures to match sentences and pictures.
Preparation• Photocopy the Pictominoes cards from the book (pages 114–119). • Laminate for durability. • Cut out the cards and store in numbered zip-lock bags.
How to play
Share the cards equally among the players.
Nominate any player to start the game.
The player chooses any card in their hand. They read the sentence written on the card.Example: A ‘something’ has pretty wings.
The player then places the card on the table.
The player who has the picture of the ‘something’ says the word, e.g. butterfly.
If the player with the picture is correct, they read the sentence on the second half of their card before placing the card, domino style, against the first player’s card.

Answering questions about text often means finding the answer in what you have read. You are asked to remember what was in the text. These are literal questions.
Example of a literal question: Was Teema the tallest girl in her class?
Answer: Teema was the tallest by a metre.
Sometimes you are asked to guess the answers as these are not in the text. You have to guess the answer by reading and thinking about what you already know or feel. The proper word for this is inferring (guessing).
Example of an inferring question: How did Teema feel about being the tallest girl?
Answer: Teema felt ashamed (bad) about how tall she was.
The answer to the question is not in the text. You have to look for clues to infer (guess) the answer. You do this by using the words and your feelings. You can guess how Teema felt.
Teema was the tallest girl in her class. Not just by a little, but by a metre.
When the new principal asked Teema to have her children line up, she blushed. When the principal found that Teema was not the teacher, the principal blushed. Being asked what the clouds are like up there just wasn’t what she wanted. Most kids wanted to be bigger.
Teema’s only wish was to be smaller.
