If ever the adage ‘show not tell’ was applicable, then it must be to a Halloween story. The emphasis on this class is to enjoy creating a story full of atmosphere and suspense. With a strict ‘no gore/ violence’ rule, learners will discover how much more satisfying and effective it is to create an air of mystery and, perhaps, even include humour for a successful spooky story. Learners will explore how to plan out a story and use descriptive writing effectively, as well as technical aspects...
Learners will look at: Planning techniques in creating a story Descriptive techniques Sentence structure Paragraph planning and structure How to change the pace using these techniques.
Writing is my passion and as well as majoring in English at university, I've almost 20 years’ experience in teaching English in primary schools (4-11-year-olds). Over those years I have worked regularly with groups of children specifically on English writing skills.
