Today Primary 6/7B started a 6 part story. They used specific tools from the author’s craft to make their story introduction more interesting. The introductions focused on enticing the reader to read on. Children used the 5 senses, similes, metaphors and other descriptive words.
We started by looking at synonyms for standard words and used our previous knowledge to generate other more descriptive words. We then created our own similes and metaphors, analysing the difference between them.
We then used different coloured pens and identified how other authors use the senses. This helped us apply this skill in our own work.
Finally we were ready to write the introductions for our stories. What a great descriptive start to our story so far.
In the afternoon we planned a new way to learn. We will be working on child led focused learning…watch this space!
We also practised our line drawing skills, developing size and scale and using artist techniques to combine two objects together. This week we drew a pangolin climbing up a tree.
