Worst hider ever? |
The first job here was to read James Norcliff's short story Coming ready or Not! And Vernon Scanell's poem Hide and Seek. Using an easy organiser, we could then pull our own bare bones of the story/poem from the text and use it to make our own connections in readiness for writing. See link here for what I mean
Hmmmm...I wonder where he could be? |
Specific Focus 1: Creating Impact
How has Veron Scanell achieved 'Impact'. Click here for the link from Gail Loane's Book. Can we find any of these in James Norcliff's piece? For this task your WALT is going to be to achieve impact. Your success criteria will be to use any of the ideas detailed in the list...so choose one and use it! You may find that you use other accidentally. Can we write a SOLO rubric for those that want it assessed?
Specific Focus 2: Crafting
I really want you to show evidence of being able craft. This will mean having your piece finished and parking it. Then you need to share it with someone. Mr Wood? A writing buddy? You need to ask yourself...
- has your piece captured your experience in the way you intended?
- if not, what changes could you make?
- what verbs could be replaced that have strong connotations?
