Reading
of homework
The writers enjoyed the start of the follow on homework and
read out the following stories; Helene – Crystal, Trevor – Anton, Lynn – Her
escape, Elizabeth – I did not want to go and Terry – Pieces.
We took the sentence “She quickly walked to the red door and
nervously took the key from her purse” and rewrote and expanded it to show
rather than tell by removing the “ly” words and not using adverbs.
The exercise stimulated discussion on writing and the use of
show don’t tell method of writing.
