Before we bring this term's novel, The Boy in the Girl's bathroom, to a close, we have enjoyed sharpening our narrative writing skills by creating our own version of the next chapter.
We used our plan to ensure our ideas were focused on conveying the character's thoughts and feelings whilst describing our setting. We had to exercise the ability to be succinct in our plan by using bullet points that we would later be able to expand on.
The next chapter was infused with threads from the novel written by Louis Sachar, however, each one of our chapters had their unique outcome.
We spent some time sharing and loving each other's work and building our orating skills as some of us shared our chapter with the class.
"I loved Haileigh's interesting similes in her writing!" - Aariz, Elm
Finally we spent some time highlighting the key skills that we had achieved in our piece of writing.
Next week, we will be independently writing a short chapter based on another event in the story.
We hope to be able to further display our descriptive writing skills.
