My multimodal text will cover a school week where my main character will cause a mishap each day in a different part of the school. Each scenario will first include the main characters version of events; and because he/she is a kid it will be a made up version of what actually happened, this is so it adds humour to the story and also because the children can relate to the story. Therefore I needed to think of 5 different scenes and think what might happen in them.
My first scene will be set in the canteen, looking at a canteen it is clear that a food fight should happen in this scene; with use of the tables and chairs, the food and involve the canteen staff too.
One idea could be the main character versus the evil dinner lady who looks something very similar to the one below.
My second scene will be set in a classroom, when looking at a primary school classroom, the main things that need to be included are a teacher, maybe a teaching assistant, pens, pencils, books and maybe paint.

My third scene will be set in the school library, in the school library the main character will interact with the books. My main idea is for him/her to make a den out of the books to hide from either the teaching assistant or maybe some small creatures.
My fourth scene will be set in the toilets, he/she will have a water fight with another student and found soaking wet by the headteacher. The main character will say it's because the other student started it but really it was his/her own fault. The headteacher will be just as scary as Ms Trunchbull or a huge male headteacher that resembles an army officer.

And my fifth and final scene will be set on the field, the main character will end up getting incredibly muddy at school and having to be picked up by their parent. The child will say it's because they had to find the lost treasure but again it's only their imagination.
These are possible ideas for my story, the next thing to do will be to try and draw these characters and scenarios and make them possible.
