In the book Iron Man, Hogarth comes up with an idea to save the world.. Write a story of your own (different to the one you read) where a boy or girl has an idea of how to save the world from someone/something which goes wrong at the end.

Think about...

Character:

• Are there any other characters?

• What are they like?

Setting:

• Where does the plan for the great idea take place?

• Will the story end in the same place?

Plot:

• What is the great idea?

• How does it go wrong?

• What happens?
