Follow up activities could include:

• Sequencing a story – draw six pictures in the correct order to retell the story with written captions underneath.  Remember full stops and capital letters.
• Choose a character and describe them – Draw and label your favourite character and write a paragraph describing what they are like and what they do in the story.
• Write an alternate ending for one of the stories – choose a story and think what would happen if the ending changed, rewrite the end of the story using creative language to excite your reader.
• Create a sci-fi setting – use ideas from the stories you have read or films you have watched to draw or make a setting.
• Write a sci-fi story of your own – don’t forget to include:

A beginning, a middle and an end.

Descriptive language for your characters and setting.
