Quick Writes Term 4

we have been working on ‘Quick Writes.’  This is where you are given something to write about (a writing prompt) and you only have 10mins to write as much as possible using this writing prompt.For our writing prompts we will use either images or short videos.

1) Fireworks

As I walked into this place I smelt the smell of smoke from the fire.  I  heard the bang, bang, pew, pew of the fireworks. It was beautiful like a daffodil opening on a clear spring day. I felt the warmth comforting me. It was the coolest thing anyone could experience in a lifetime.

2) Spiderman

As  I walked down the road I heard the people shouting out, "Its him, its him!" I could smell the food stands then a UFO comes and squishes him flat  the crowd did not care.

3) Tomato Pulp

Tomato Fight

People in Europe like throwing tomatoes at people. You can smell  the rich hauna [ smell ]  of tomatoes. You can hear the squelch of the tomatoes. You can feel the slimy tomato pulp all over you.

4) A Stormy Day

Bang, crash, bang, crash the whaitiri [thunder] is banging. The lightning is flashing. Then the wind howls down on the little house and it shakes. Next the lightning strikes a tree and I watch it from my little bedroom as it burns down to ash on the forest floor.  Then it smokes for a while, embers glowing like little fireflies lighting the way to paradise.

Quick Write Number One - The Beekeeper

For the next two weeks we are going to work on ‘Quick Writes.’  This is where you are given something to write about (a writing prompt) and you only have 10mins to write as much as possible using this writing prompt.

For our writing prompts we will use either images or short videos.

The purpose of this is to practise writing fluently.

When we look at our writing prompt we will have about 10-15 mins to discuss it and brainstorm some ideas and vocabulary.   

Our learning goals are to:

-write a description, using powerful words and phrases

-include some Te Reo Māori

-carefully check that our sentences make sense and have correct punctuation and spelling.

When we are writing we need to think about…

1. What do I want my reader to see?

2) What do I want my reader to hear?

3) What do I want my reader to smell?

Tips:

-look closely at the picture or video

-think about the three key questions and the learning goals

-give yourself time to plan and write

I   love bees do you?  I love the honey they make. Do you  know how the beekeeper gets  the honi aka (honey)? Well I will tell you.

Step 1 the beekeeper goes to the hive with the bees in and smokes them to make them sleepy so he won't get stung.

Step 2 he pulls out the frame which still has some bees on but they are asleep so they won’t sting.

Step 3 scrape the honey off into a container then the bees wake up just in time for the end of the process.    click here for some honey good facts
