WRITING

Task 1. Focus – Fantastic Beasts – Dictionary Work Newt Scamander, the author of a famous Hogwarts textbook arrives in New York City with an enchanted briefcase full of magical creatures and the desire to complete a global research expedition. However, several of his beasts accidentally escape. Read the following passage based on ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ by J.K.Rowling As Newt Scamander explored the streets of New York city, eager to discover which magical creatures awaited him, he marvelled at the sights: the skyscrapers peering down; the train passing overhead and the traffic honking its horns in angry protest. Suddenly, the hustle and bustle of a nearby crowd drew his attention towards the steep stone steps in front of the bank where a woman was delivering a peculiar speech – about the supernatural – to the crowd. From out of nowhere, Jacob Kawolski, who had an important meeting at the bank, approached the vast crowd but as he did so, lost his footing and tripped over Newt’s identical leather suitcase, which had been placed on the ground adjacent to his feet. Kawolski, who then picked up the wrong suitcase, hurriedly made his way through the crowd, up the steps towards the bank. Look up the following words in a dictionary (if you do not have a dictionary you can use an online one – for example, https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english) Eager – If you are eager to do or have something, you want to do or have it very much. Awaited – Peering - Marvelled – Peculiar – Adjacent – Challenge: highlight the fronted adverbials in the passage.

Task 2. Focus – ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’

Here is the next part of the story….

Meanwhile, at the very top of the steps, a man was exiting the bank. He flipped a coin and as it bounded down the steps it caught the Niffler’s attention. Razor-sharp, diminutive claws began to prise open the side of the case in which he was concealed. Unable to resist anything shiny, the greedy Niffler escaped and scuttled behind a stone pillar.

One shiny, valuable coin was not enough to satisfy the extremely greedy Niffler. The whiff of freshly polished coins hung in the air luring the mischievous creature. Scurrying into the bank, the Niffler spotted a trolley containing several bags of money. Secodns later, Newt, who was desperate to find the cunning money thief, entered the building then suddenly, from out of nowhere, a deep voice bellowed across the room:

“Hey! I think that egg is hatching!”

Jacob, who had realised the cases had been switched, had discovered the mysterious concents. What was going on? What was in the egg? Why had he become involved? Newt quickly cast a spell and suddenly their bodies twisted, egg and cases n hand. Transfixed by the cracking egg, they started at a miniscule dragon who had begun to poke its curious head out of the shell.

Out of the corner of his eye, Newt then noticed the Niffler disappear into a nearby vault.

“Alohomora!” Newt commanded as he pointed his trusty wand in the direction of the vault.

In the blink of an eye, the vault started to open whilst Jacob, still speechless, stood motionless staring in disbelief. Suddenly, a voice from behind boomed:

“Oh, so you’re going to steal the money, are you?”

Without a moment of hesitation, Newt knew what to do:

“Petrificus Totalus!” He shouted whilst, once again, pointing his wand.

And with that, the bank employee froze. Thud! He hit the floor with an almighty force.

Newt entered the vault after the Niffler, who was sat casually upon one of the safety deposit boxes. Newt scooped him up and tipped out the treasures hidden in the Niffler’s pouch.

Without warning, the security guards could be heard charging down the stairs…

Task: your task is to write the solution to the story. Answer the following questions:

What does Newt do when he sees the security guards? How does he avoid being arrested? What does he say to Jacob or the security guards? Do they meet any other magical creatures? Where are these creatures? (Perhaps they live in a

magical world inside the suitcase). What do these other creatures look like (think about the expanded noun phrases from the last

unit of work). Where do they go next?

Challenge: look up the following words in a dictionary:

Diminutive –

Concealed –

Scuttled -

Task 3. Focus – Write an Additional Paragraph based on ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’. Task: write an additional paragraph to the above story. Use the questions you answered in Task 2 to help you. Checklist:

- Include at least one fronted adverbial - Include prepositions (e.g. next to) - Remember capital letters and full stops - Write in the 3rd person (e.g. Newt, Jacob, Niffler) - Use adjectives - Use dialogue (remember to use inverted commas)

Fronted adverbial examples: quite understandably, almost unbelievably, feeling anxious, unexpectedly. Vocabulary ideas: abandoned, disastrous, eerie, sombre, hero, enchanted. Sentence Starter Ideas: “Stop what you’re doing and put your hands up!” shouted the Head of Security. As quick as a flash, Newt simultaneously reached for the mischievous Niffler and the stunned Jacob whilst muttering a transportation spell. Babbling in disbelief, Jacob began to back away from the bizarre, abnormal events taking place in front of him. Challenge: Write another paragraph for the story.
