This week in Maple, our star writer is the imaginative Libby Northwood!
In class, we are writing the story of Pandora's box from the perspective of Pandora. We have considered the senses of Pandora to construct our story: what she could see when she looked at the box, how the box felt, how she felt before opening the box, the voices she could hear, the sight of the spirits and how she felt after opening the box.
We used a carousel approach to develop a whole array of ideas, working collaboratively with our peers. The children were then able to create an extensive word bank, which helped them to build their own sentences about Pandora's senses.
Libby's spectacular sentences used a wide range of vocabulary to hook her reader in and show not tell to give her reader a vivid image of how Pandora felt and acted. Great work Libby!
