Today's New Learning

Poetry Poker was the warm-up today.

Challenges included quick thinking and

creating using 5 exceptional but unexpected words.

The main learning involved creating mood (atmosphere) in writing through word choice. For example:

A shadow lay over the yard like a grave cloth.

The grass was long and unkempt. Against the

bole of a withered oak lay a child’s ball shrouded

by the creeping Bermuda. The features of the

house shimmered in the blaze of the afternoon,

blurred beyond recognition to the unwary stranger.

The Flipped Classroom this week is to complete your 2 examples which show your practice of this new learning.
