Writing

Goals

  • continue with the drafting phase of the writing cycle
  • revise a draft piece of writing

The Learning Task

You have taken part in lessons that spark your ideas for writing with literacy prompts that focused on generating topics that you can return to for writing inspiration (heart maps, hands, life map, awesome ideas) and genres of writing (personal memoir, informational writing, persuasive writing, procedural writing, poetry, fiction). And, you were asked to complete a draft piece of writing on a topic of your choice.

Reread your draft piece of writing and ‘level up’ your word choice to include words that are descriptive and precise. Choose words to convey strong and vivid images through your piece of writing.
