Students across Y7 are working on developing their skills and techniques in narrative writing, learning about parts of speech, sentence types and structures, and how to apply these to a creating a powerful personal narrative.
Leading up to this, we have looked at how similes and metaphors enhance the message as the comparisons help us to picture more vividly exactly what authors want us to see or experience. This has been taught through poetry. Following are some examples of our students’ works:
The Ocean
A paradise of deep blue and green
Where almost nothing can be seen
Waves moving like a dancing serpent
Day in and day out, never urgent –
The Ocean
By Felix Mirus
Cats
Glistening eyes like the sun rays off the ocean
Claws as sharp as a knife
A tail as soft as cotton
Waiting for the perfect moment to strike
Cats
By Lucas Maj
Owl
Talons like daggers
Soars silently
Eyes like a tiger’s
Kills violently
Owl
By Carys Magnan
