Answer these questions in your books:

1. The door was the last one in the corridor. What does the use of the word 'last' tell you?

2. Re-read the opening (in bold). Where do you think this story is set? How can you tell?

3. What does the use of the word 'hefty' tell you about the iron chain? What clues does this give you about what's behind the door?

4. Darkness and a damp smell oozed through the black slit. How does this make you feel? Were you surprised by this description? Why?

Thank you so much if you've posted a comment on the blog - we have replied to every comment that we've seen. We'd really like to hear some of your 'Magical Door' poems when we call you this week - perhaps you can practise performing your poems before we speak to you?
