INSIDE OUT WRITING TASK
The film Inside Out takes us inside the mind of a young girl named Riley as she moves from childhood into her teenage years.
In the film we take a look inside Riley’s brain and discover she is actually being controlled by her Emotions,
Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Anger, and Fear. In-fact, those same Emotions are controlling the minds of her father, and her mother too. They must be inside all of us!
They’re silly, dramatic, and can’t help but act like themselves. For better or worse!
Your task today is to write a short story.
You will be writing from the point-of-view of the Emotions.
Below are 3 different scenarios - you’re going to choose ONE and begin your writing.
Scenario One | Scenario Two | Scenario Three |
You are at a big family celebration for your grandmother. They are serving dinner, and you see your LEAST favourite food. You know it’s rude to turn food away, but you have to eat it anyway. What’s going on in your head? | It’s the first day back at school. You don’t know which class you’re going to be put into, and you’re hoping that you’re going to end up with your friends. As you walk into the hall…
| There’s 30 seconds left in the game, and the ball comes flying towards you. You’re one score behind, and it’s all up to you to make this shot… What’s going on in your head? |
Begin your writing here: Scenario Three While the ball was coming towards me it felt like time had stopped. My heart was beating as fast as a Cheetah running. I also had some butterflies in my stomach and fear in mind. The ball was still moving slowly towards me. As I gathered more courage to strike the ball in the hoop. Yet something was holding me back. Fear, fear was holding me back. Trying to keep me safe also in fear of the ball hitting my face. Anger also took over because he knew I could take it. But happiness kicked in just at the nick of time. )Bang( I caught the ball and went for the shot and scored the final goal. The End |

~ Moana ~
Moana is a story that takes place around the beautiful Pacific, centered around a young princess, Moana, and the mischievous demigod Maui.
Your task today is to use METAPHORICAL language to describe the people, and places from the movie. Metaphorical language means that we have made a comparison between the thing we are describing,
and something we all recognise.
Let’s look at 3 different types of metaphorical language…
Type of Metaphorical Language | How we use it | Example | What I really mean. |
METAPHOR | A metaphor is when you say something IS something else. | “Mr Hughes is a teddy bear” | This means Mr Hughes is friendly, and cuddly. |
SIMILE | A simile is when you say something is LIKE or AS something else. | “Mr Hughes is as ugly as a crushed pineapple” | Mr Hughes looks like a crushed pineapple |
PERSONIFICATION | A personification gives human qualities to something non-human. | “The wind whistled through the trees” | The noise of the wind sounded like somebody whistling. |
Your job is to use METAPHORS, SIMILES, AND PERSONIFICATION to describe these things from the movie Moana.
Check the next page for the table you will be using.
Use 3 examples of Metaphorical Language to describe… | What do they look like? | How do they act/behave? |
Moana Moana has the look of a Polynesian also has a spike of destiny and inspiration for long stories and much more tales. | Likes to sing. Behaves sometimes well towards her parents. Does not want to take on the role of chief but wants to explore the Moana (Ocean). | |
Maui A demigod who has a little friend on his body who has a tattoo yet he moves. Maui is a walking tattoo with long hair and teeth for a necklace. | Ignorant but friendly. Likes to sing like Moana and talk to himself. Weird but what I mean is tattoo him. | |
HeiHei HeiHei looks like a very skinny rooster. He has the name of “Village Idiot”. Even though he is a rooster. | All i can say is he acts dumb. He likes to eat rocks. He also resembles a chicken always clucking around. | |
Te Fiti Te Fiti looks like Moana but has a lot of grass. Also she looks like a Polynesian version of the Maori Goddess of land Papatuanuku. | Te Fiti does show her thanks besides to Maui but she still gives him his Hook. She cannot speak but is always smiling except in front of Maui once again. |

The Avengers
The Avengers
Fan Fiction
After the End Game the world is left to pick up the pieces. Nothing is the same as it was before the disappearance of half the world’s population. With Thanos, and the Infinity Stones gone, a hole is left for another villain to take his place. One far more dangerous, and more powerful.
Your task for today is to create a new super-villain for the
Avengers to deal with.
Name: | Dark absorber |
Superpowers (What can they do?) | Actually he has quite a few. one specific one that he had when he was born. Was the power to absorb anyone’s powers. He also has the power to shrink and grow. |
Greatest Enemies (Who are they at war with?) | The avengers and any villains like venom and more so he can absorb their powers. |
Once they conquer the world they would like to achieve… (What do they want to accomplish?) | They would like to take over every universe and also he wants to manipulate multiverses so he can defeat the avengers again and again and again till he’s bored. He also wanted to absorb every power of every villain and hero. |
Appearance (What do they look like?) | He usually appears in a black suit with a black coat. He is tall and always wears glasses to cover his eyes which are black all over. He would change the color but he likes them that way. He also always wears gloves. |
Once you have designed your supervillain it is time to give them a story. Write a story in which the Avengers are introduced to your supervillain, and a battle begins! Start your writing in the space on the next page!
Title: The Dark absorber One day Thor was on S.H.I.E.L.D.S ship with the last members of the avengers and Doctor Strange. When they hear a big boom coming from outside the ship. “GALACTUS IS BACK” screamed one of the S.H.I.E.L.D agents. Nick Fury says “Get your butts out there and fight him NOW!”. They do exactly what he tells them to but to their surprise he was the size of a human. It looked like he lost his soul with his pupils as white as clouds. He had fear written all over his face. He whispers “Watch out!” as a man pops out from behind galactus. Doctor Strange with a mighty voice shouts “ Who are you revealing yourself”. But the strange man in black didn’t listen and he pokes his hand out at Galactus then Galactus turns smaller and smaller until “POOF” Galactus is gone. The man reveals himself and says “I AM NOW THE NEW THANOS BUT MORE POWERFUL” as he talks he grows and grows too much. He pokes his hand out again and nothing happens. Thor says “Aha you have no power here for we are in the mirror dimision” as they all look at Doctor strange. Nick Fury then asks “ Now tell us who you are, you man in black”. He reveals himself as the Dark absorber. He then transforms into Iron man. Dark says “ I am also now the true Iron Man “ telling Jarvis to give him the iron man suit. But he then forgot he was in the mirror dimension so they didn’t come. Doctor Strange's cape attacks the dark Absorber from behind by trying to go over his face like what he did to Dorammus' minions. Speaking of Dormammu he took his powers too so he manipulates the mirror dimension also the cape got ripped off his face. The cape then returns back to Doc. Long story short the avengers lose and their powers are taken except for Thor and Doctor Strange. Strange and Thor then study for years and years until they meet him again. |
