Story starter!

! Time seemed to be standing still.

! Frost covered the top of the submarine like icing on a cake. Something strange had been brewing under the water for days. Something terrible. Something powerful.

! With an almighty roar, like a helicopter taking off, the sea all around the vessel began to rise up. Up and up and up it rose, forming menacing walls of darkness all around him. The Captain felt powerless. His fate, and the fate of his crew, lay in the hands of the mighty ocean. All he could do was watch. And wait.

Question time!

What thoughts are going through the Captain’s mind?

What do you think has caused the enormous waves? Is it a storm, or something more sinister?

How do you think fish feel in a storm? Do you think they notice?

Sentence challenge!

Can you write a sentence containing a relative clause?

! E.g. The sea, which was crested with frothy, white waves, seemed to be rising up around him.

It splits the main clause.

The clause begins with ‘who’, ‘which’ or ‘with’.

It must supply an extra bit of information to the sentence.

Commas should surround the relative clause.

Perfect picture!

Imagine that the picture is a video that has been paused. If you were to press the play button, what would the picture look like if you paused it again after one minute?

Draw/describe what you have imagined.
