There are more stories available on line too, if you wanted another one.
Then, thinking about your favourite alien, either from the book or one of your own, draw the alien and give it some colour; add lots of detail. What will it look like? How many arms, legs, heads and other more unusual features will it have? Don’t forget a special pair of underpants will be needed!
Once you have created your alien, think about and write a full description of it. Rehearsing, out loud, what you want to write before you write it; say the sentence lots of times before you write, so that you know what you’re writing. Have a think about your letter formation and neatness; is it your best work?
