Creative Writing with Style

The Year 9 Creative Writing class worked with a mentor text for their first assessment task this term, borrowing writing techniques from a professional author.

They learnt about creating vignettes, conveying emotion without actually describing it, 'show, don't tell' and basing a story firmly in a particular time and place.

Chanel L (Year 9 Bronze) achieved these with particular flair, with a sports-themed story that will engage even non-sports fans.
