Higher Weekly Task— Wednesday 6th May

Hi Folks. Folio Development— Final Piece 1300 words.

While we are away from school we would like you to try and start developing a creative Folio piece.

Please have a look at some of the writing prompts below. Pick one example and write descriptively in anyway you chose on the im-

age you see.

Do not try and write too much action or time lapse; try and create a picture in the head of the reader. Transport the reader to the

scene; tell the reader all you can about your character. You can do this by writing detailed descriptions of everything that you can

see, hear, touch, taste, smell.

As you develop your ideas you can send your teacher drafts of your work.

You may by now have written a cracking opening for your story. Try and develop the middle section this week. Think carefully about

character. Is there an important development moment in the story that needs to occur? If you feel you want to write more...go for

it!

Enjoy!
