Summary for Lesson 1
In our first writing lesson together, we focused on descriptive writing, thinking about the three fundamental building blocks: high level vocab, literary techniques and sensory language. The powerpoint with all of the resources is attached below, which should be used to help write the descriptive pieces assigned for homework. It also contains some really important and helpful links, the inspiration for the gorgeous work the class did in class describing various scenes and situations, and finally our discussions on sensory language, creating atmosphere, avoiding cliche and using unique and original literary techniques to grab the reader’s attention. The students were absolutely fantastic in today’s lesson, the students contributed some excellent ideas on writing, perspective and the use of techniques to pull the reader into a scene. Very good work everyone, well done and see you next week 🙂
