The focus in writing in early Term Three is on Vibrant Vocabulary.
We have started with a poem called 'Be Specific' where writers are encouraged to describe exactly what is seen, felt, experienced rather than using genre real terms. The result of this has been some amazingly descriptive texts. They will feature on this blog as they are proof-read and produced.
We have had to find out the definitions of some of the words in the classroom display, which is exactly what I have aimed at the students doing, in order to diversify their own vocabularies.
Weasel Words will exist no more in Room 17!!!
Not in Room 17!
