An old legend on the Cornish Coast to continue

This is a story about an old legend on the Cornish coast.
Read it to your students. It has been especially written by Johnnie Young to engage the interest of your students with a view to engendering a piece of creative writing . Let them have a copy of it for reference.
The writing builds almost to a climax and the writing task is for your students to write out, from their own imaginations and based on the information provided, the missing part of the newspaper article.
It is incredible to see, once the necessary information is fed in, what your students will produce in response to this challenge.
A good way to introduce it is to use these words:
“I’m going to read to you about an intriguing legend connected to a part of the Cornish Coast. I want you to listen carefully and try to remember the key points as we go along. At the end there is a writing challenge for you. I want you to imagine what happens next and then I want you to have a go at writing it down.”
