We have been learning a new skill in writing. It is called slow writing- it has nothing to do with being really slow though!
We are given 6 sentences to write. Every sentence has to be different.
They can be one like these below;
Sentence 1 must have 3 adjectives
Sentence 2 must start with a time connective
Sentence 3 must have a question mark
And so on.
By slowing down and thinking about each sentence, it should help us organise our writing a lot better and it also helps us use a whole range or literacy elements and punctuation.
Here are some we did today. We used the short film Before Sunrise off the Literacy Shed and just wrote the beginning.
As the moon peaked in through the deep cloud of mist, an unusual sound erupted. Before sunrise, three black mischievous playful shadows danced through the night. Meanwhile a lone shadow stood, deep in thought. The other shadows laughed and cackled continuously. SHIFA
The dark gloomy cold city scattered with fear. Soon the mist rand and covered the whole city in a blink of an eye. Over come with joy they entered the darkness. Would you be sacred? His laugh echoed through the city. Meow! The vicious cat sneaked up behind them. MACKENZIE
The full moon peered down onto the soulless village while evil screams began to surrounded it. While fearless shadows raced around screeching unknown words. An evil sound came out of the darkness. What was it? The sound faded into the distance. The shadows scattered from every corner and filled the streets with laughter! LEILANI
