  • Ko ia kāhore nei i rapu, tē kitea.

    He who does not seek, will not find.

    Kia ora.  Thank you for attending the google meet last week.  It's strange to be back to on-line learning, but also a very familiar place.  Hopefully you have all been working on your character development for your creative writing. A huge well done to the 13 students who completed the document about the genre they are choose to focus on.  I have created a word cloud based on your responses - the larger the writing the more times the word was mentioned in the column.


    This week, we are going to identify the main problem or complication in our stories..... What are your characters trying to achieve?  Why have they had to take action etc.  There will be lots of smaller complications in your writing - but this is the major plot driver.  This week I am going to create a document where you can describe the character your created last week and record your main problem or complicaton.

    Success Criteria: I can/have...

        • Generated a main problem or complication that will drive my plot
        • recorded my problem/complication
        • described my character
        • continued with my writing

    Activities:

    1. Write a short complication/ problem statement - try and use as few words as possible, you will explore your complication further in your actual writing i.e. "The bus exploded" or "I must destroy the ring" or "I am trapped at the bottom of the sea" etc.
    2. Record your problem/complication on gogle classroom document
    3. Describe your character on your google classroom document
    4. Continue to write your story now you have a problem/complicaion for your character to respond to.

    Homework:
    Everything :-)
