Week 3- Creative Writing

Creative Writing

15.02.17

In English we have  been working on Creative writing. We have written haiku's, a Sensory language paragraph and created a class padlet.  We wrote definitions of a metaphor and simile in own words. I have enjoyed these activities because they have opened up new ideas for myself when I am writing a paragraph.

 Over the last few days we learnt that in order to create a good piece of creative writing what do we need to do, so we created our padlet and wrote down ideas of what creates a good padlet. Last week My class and I create 4 haiku's. We found out that haiku's must have something that relates to the four seasons. 
The activity I enjoyed the most is writing a sensory language paragraph because I like the idea of pieces of writing that describes things you hear, see, feel, and smell, because you can almost imagine yourself being there.

Sensory Language Paragraph
I breathe in the bitter salty scent of the glistening seashells which surround the very tip of my toes. My taste buds dance to the saccharine wine that i gulp down my throat. The waves brush against my feet as gently as can be,
while the moons gleams brightly and the sweet tone of a nightingale singing the early hours away.

Metaphors and Similes

Metaphor- Something that makes you feel something. It is something True and untrue in a ordinary sense, and  make you see beyond things in reality and imagine the way it is. It is a figure of speech.

Similes- A comparison to one thing to another for example she ran as fast as cheetah

Metaphor

• Something you feel
• A metaphor is a tree, strong and natural
• All the world’s a stage
• Compares two things
• Metaphor is a stronger feature to use.
• A figure of speech.
• Direct comparison.

Similes

• Use the words “like” or “as”
• Comparison from one thing to another.
