Term 1

1 Week Guided/1 Week Independent

You will alternate each week from 1 week having daily writing lesson with me, to the next week writing and publishing something of your own choice.

By the end of the week your writing needs to have had at least 1 other person edit and proofread it and then it should be published on your blog.

Here are some possibilities of independent writing ideas.

An article about something you are interested in, a book/film review, poem, song/lyrics, argument, description, recount, biography of a famous person, short story, instructions on how to make something, a piece of writing related to work you have been doing in reading.

You need to make sure that over the term you cover a range of different types of writing.

In your independent writing week you should have time to try and publish your writing creatively.

e.g.

You could film yourself reciting your poem, record the song you have written, make a slideshow, animation or documentary.

Remember though, the dead line is important so don't be too ambitious. Make sure what you decide to do is achievable by the end of the week.

Also remember that whatever writing you choose to do you need to make it effective so you will need to rework it until you are happy with it.

Before you start you need to complete this planning sheet. Leave the reflection until you have published your piece.

After you have completed your task fill out this Reflection Form.
