Who Wants To Be an Author?

Do you enjoy writing stories or poems? 

UPDATE: 

Our new topic is Imaginary Worlds.
You might like to think about introducing an imaginary setting or describe a made up character.


I look forward to reading your ideas!

Have you been thinking about the writing we have been doing in class and thought... I want to write more and about topics of my own choosing? 

Well Waterloo Class I think you ALL have the potential to be wonderful writers with practice, so I would like you to use this page to do just that.... practice!

Think about all the work we have been doing this term on story planning, engaging story openers, adjectival phrases and clauses and adverbial phrases, then have a go.

Try creating a 'Writer's Notebook' to collect seeds. Like real seeds, your writing seeds will bloom if planted and tended to. 

Really, all it is, is a scrap book where you jot down your ideas for stories (or any other text type), or where you stick in family photo's, a leaf from a special trip, ticket stubs, the tags from a new toy you brought, the wrapping paper from your birthday present...... ANYTHING that will inspire you to write.

Here are some writing seeds I have used to get me started.

                                           

The Holi Festival I went to in Zurich                                              Hanging Rock near my home town -

over the summer holidays.                                                             I miss the smell of eucalyptus and the                                                                                                                        sound of kookaburra's in the morning.

   

Once you have some ideas, feel free to share your actual writing as a comment on this page.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
