Ok...this one is DEAD EASY (sort of). I want a classroom that is swamped, saturated & bombarded with good writing (quality literature?) and I want to be able to display it in such a way that we know its good and why. The thing is...I'm a bit lazy and can't be bothered! So...(because I have a happy bunch of workers who will do it for free!), you're going to do it!!!
Phillip Pullman, author of His Dark Materials trilogy stole his ideas from things he read, saw & heard. If it is all right for him...then its alright for us!
So, once you have decided on what you think is a 'quality' piece of writing, copy it into a new document. Make the font large enough so that all your writing fits onto ONE A4 PAGE. Then decide on a FONT that SUITS the style of PROSE. (don't forget to write the name of the book and the author-That can be just small)...and Hey Presto! You're finished...sort of.
The next part is to meet with me and tell me why you think this is a good example of quality writing (other than.."Well, they turned it into a book Mr Wood!") ...then...
Write you own version of it! Make enough changes so that you won't get into trouble with the author and publishing company. Sorted!
