Term 2 2011
We are learning to write our very own fairytale. As a part of this learning, we are developing our literary skills by describing characters. Before we 'launch' into our writing, we plan. Today, as we were describing, we used a Bubble Map as a tool to help us with this thinking process. We had to imagine that we were in our character's shoes. We talked about creating new ideas with our imaginations, persisting to come up with some stunningly original work.
Have a look at Marilena's wonderful ideas...
