Week beginning 18th Feb

SWOP - SIX WORDS ONE PHOTO

 On this blog we will be working on six word stories with a twist! 
The original idea is that Hemmingway wrote  'For sale, baby shoes, never worn.' Whether he did or not is often debated but the idea is a really good one to focus your ideas.

I will add images that can be used as writing stimulus based on the idea of SWOP, please share these with your pupils and share their responses on here.

W/14th January

http://teamshafton.blogspot.co.uk/p/the-100-word-challenge.html
There are lots of ideas for stories here from 'Team Shafton'

Villages startled and amazed, by vision.


Drawn as moths to a flame.


Bright light quickens the villager’s heartbeats.


Blinding lights quickens the villager’s footsteps.


In a lightening flash all was revealed..

Glimmering lights fill the vague sky.

Inviting doorway to a magical world.
