Hi all,
Just a quick update to clarify your current coursework task and learning from class. At present, we have started a creative writing unit, and are trying to work on the creative thinking skills required for real excellence. The task we are leading up to is:
The host of a creative writing website approaches you to submit some writing for it. This month’s theme is ‘Change’. You have complete freedom in your choice of form, but are asked to make sure that what you submit is not longer than 1000 words.
In recent lessons we have tried to consider how to push our thinking in order to ensure that our ideas are original and engaging. We've tried lots of discussion, some free writing, and addressing various questions, such as 'How is writing like fishing?' and 'How Great is Great Britain?'. As ever, I've really enjoyed the contributions you've made!
OK, that's it - next steps are to shape our ideas into an engaging structure, then consider what we can do with the technical sides of our writing to ensure that it is good enough to carry the quality of our ideas.
Well done all and enjoy the weekend,
Mr Boulter
