Creative writing

           Using a poem as a stimulus for a
                   piece of writing



       What different
       meanings does
      the word conflict
           have?
What am I being assessed for?
AO3 Writing
• Write clearly, effectively and imaginatively, using and
  adapting forms and selecting vocabulary appropriate to
  task and purpose in ways that engage the reader.
• Organise information and ideas into structured and
  sequenced sentences, paragraphs and whole texts,
  using a variety of linguistic and structural features to
  support cohesion and overall coherence.
• Use a range of sentence structures for clarity, purpose
  and effect, with accurate punctuation and spelling.
Today I will,
•   Write clearly
•   Write effectively
•   Write imaginatively
•   Select interesting vocabulary
•   Engage the reader
Vocabulary and writing warm up
• You will have to go and find something that you
  can write a description of.

• Spend 10 minutes describing it from far away.

• Spend 10 minutes describing it from close up –
  has the object changed as you get closer to it?

• YOU MUST USE INTERESTING VOCABULARY!!
Example
• As the wind blows, it skitters across the playground,
  dancing on the air. The brightly coloured outside is like
  a rainbow, advertising the contents to the world. The
  inside a silver opening, glinting in the light as it catches
  it through the dense cloud…

• Up close, the colours are faded and scratched, without
  a pristine shine. They have been worn away by the
  weather and time. The glinting inside seems sad and
  empty, the contents have vanished. The silver seems
  to go on forever, like a cave stretching into the
  unknown…
Using a thesaurus
• Swap books with someone else and read their
  descriptions.
• Choose 5 words that you feel could be
  improved by being replaced with an
  alternative word.
• Return the book to its owner.

• Use a thesaurus to find replacement
  vocabulary.
• Remember, alternative and better words are
  not just longer!!
• Be careful that the words still make sense and
  that you are using them in the correct context.
• Have the changes to the vocabulary improved
  your description?

• How have they changed what you originally
  wrote?

• Why are vocabulary choices important?
Sort these words into categories.
Invent your own groupings and categories
and find your own associations: for example,
violent words, or words relating to the sea.
• What do you notice about the words and the
  categories you have made?
• Are there any patterns to the words?
• Extension question: Can you find any words that
  could be used in metaphors? Can you explain
  why you think they are metaphorical words?

• Which of the words do you find the most
  interesting and why?
