Here is an example from Georgie Merry
"His hands sway back and forward as he moves, his skin papery underneath a well groomed bread and jagged jawling. Looking at him and his pale skin, the way his eyes reflect whatever is in front of them, creates a sort of elegance about him. His eyes remind me of my blue water tank in my yard when you open it, only my water tank is only a few feet deep and his eyes are fathomless"
Students have been focusing on creating
- vivid descriptions of characters
- painting the picture of a scene to give the reader a better idea in their mind
- interviews with the characters to make them more lifelike
In order to do this, students have read through a range of texts to explore the crime. They followed their own research and have come up with their own version of the events.
Here is a great end product from a professional writer. I am excited to see what the class produces.
