Connor's Concrete Poem

W.A.L.T.
-----------
We will be learning about writing from memory, and how you can rely on your senses to provide a fantastic piece of writing about places and characters.

W.I.L.F.
----------
In your 'Cluster' and 'Freewrite' jotter, do the following:

1. Close your eyes for a few moments and think of a place that you remember from your holiday. Think of some of the details that you would include in any description and make a mental note of them.

2. Open your eyes and, without looking around, create a cluster by putting the place/character name in the centre of the page and circle it. Put down every connection that comes into your head.

3. Now, on a separate page, produce a freewrite of all the words and phrases that come into your mind from looking round the cluster - write down at least a paragraph; just let the words tumble out.

4. Now look at what you've written. Again, think about the place - indoors or outdoors - and write down *three* things for each of the following:

· Sounds that you can hear
· Textures that you can feel
· Odours that you can smell
· Flavours that you can taste
· Objects that you can see

5. Take a fresh page. You should now have enough detail - look at what you wrote for activities 3 & 4 - in order to write about your personal experience, and make sure your story is in order. Write in the past tense, and remember to use the first person narrative method.
