__**Produce Creative Writing (3 credits)**__

We are currently working on producing creative writing which will be worth 3 credits. We are taking a 'portfolio' approach to this standard, which means that we work on our writing, leave it to 'percolate' and come back to it at the end of the term. Research shows that this approach allows students to produce their best work and therefore gain the best result. WHICH IS, OF COURSE, WHAT WE ALL WANT!

I will post any handouts or information you might need on this page.

If you feel like extending yourself, here are our 'starters' from the creative writing we did outside. Use them to begin to create!



Here is the map we used to describe a scene using a character, many verbs and (in one case) a mirror!

Here is the creative writing standard from NZQA. This tells you what you need to do to pass.

Here is the ASSESSMENT BOOKLET for our creative writing activity NOW AND THEN.

Here are some very detailed descriptions that can help you understand the differences between Achieved, Merit and Excellence.

GOOD LUCK!
