As the PSLE is over, the weekly stories that I post will be for P3/4 pupils who will be having their end-of-year examinations soon.
I won't go through the Picture Analysis for P3/4 picture-based compositions because they tend to be more predictable; the format is either 4 pictures or 3 pictures and one question mark.
There are two themes this week. The main theme is how to begin a story. If you've been following the blog, you would know that I've done this for P5/6 pupils. For P3/4 pupils, I cover five instead of nine methods, and it's usually okay to accept cliche introductions, because of their more tender years. The idea here is to write a competent story, not to write one that will awe the examiner into giving you as high a mark as possible.
That said, if you are an advanced writer, there's no harm showing the examiner what you're capable of.
The second theme is to how to describe bleeding, a common occurrence in many stories, so it's very useful to know this, rather than just mention in passing 'he bled a lot'.
So watch Video 1 and Video 2 below to learn the 5 ways to begin a story and how to describe and handle blood in stories.
Video 1: How to Begin a Composition
The 5 ways:
1. Describe the weather (careful)/place
2. Speech/Dialogue
3. Flashback
4. Question
5. Climax
These are the various ways. But there are some points to note and you're advised to watch the video to glean the points. :)

Video 3: Sample Story
That's all for this week.
