Lesson 4 – Let's get creative

We've been learning and noticing how authors use the -ING phrase (the participle phrase) in their writing to create motion picture imagery. Today we will use some of the sentences we have found in our reading and create posters based on these sentences.

If you don't have a sentence from a free choice novel, choose three from below:

• Lockie’s little brother looked at him, pegging off his nose with his fingers.

• Colvin ran along a high branch, launching himself into the air with all his strength.

• Lockie paddled out, shivering.

• Pinching his nose, Harry drank the potion down in two large gulps

Let's create posters of some of the sentence structures we have been looking at. Choose what you believe are the five best sentences to make into a poster display.

You may wish to use Adobe Spark, Canva or a different online tool. This can also be completed as an offline task.

When you have finished - share your poster with your teacher and uploaded it so we can include it in our online gallery.

Here are some examples to get you thinking:

Upload your poster to this drive so it can be include in our online gallery above. (This activity is restricted to NSW Department of Education accounts)

Here are some some of the submitted student samples:

Don't forget to hand in the work you completed today!

Your teacher will have told you to do one of the following: 

• • Upload any digital documents you created and any photos you took of your written work to your Learning Management system (MS Teams, Google Classroom for example).

  • Email any digital documents you created and any photos you took of your written work to your teacher.

Make sure you keep any hand written work you did in your exercise book or folder as your teacher may need to see these when you are back in class.
