On Monday we had our first 'Writing with Bill' session where we met a Christchurch author, Bill Naglekerke. He took two sessions, one for year 5/6 and one for year 7/8.
During the year 5/6 session we listen to Bill read a short story, it was only really two pages long! We then did a lot of work around beginnings - what makes a great beginning, how do you write a great beginning and how do you build on them.
In the year 7/8 session Bill read us a different short story and we talked about how short short stories can be. Below is an inspiration to show the direction of our conversation today.
We will be working with Bill again on Thursday - watch this space for updates!
