Welcome to 2017 Ext(reme) Writing

Great to meet the new Ext(reme) Writers today - Angus, Izzi and Sierra.  Also wonderful for the 2016 writers to meet up again.  More writers will be joining us as the term goes by.

Our warm-up involved writing 6 word stories that held a hidden narrative. 


Today's focus was on writing a descriptive passage using figurative and descriptive features.  But the first paragraph had to be the opening line(s) of a published author.  What a wealth of talent we had in the room!  We will share some of these on the blog next week.

We will be meeting again next Monday (27th).  
Before that, the students will need to complete their draft, edit it, and type it up (if they wish).
