Willow class star writer

In Willow this week, our super star writer is the lovely Leo Whiten. Following our stories of Pandora's Box, we conducted a progress test based still on this story, but from the perspective of Epimetheus to see how well the children could write independently. Leo Whiten certainly held great capabilities in this department.

Leo had me smiling like a chesire cat the whole way through his writing. Successfully, he was able to portray the role of Epimetheus, showing how he would be feeling as he watched his disobedient wife open the box. Not only that, but Leo ensured he used a range of openers to avoid repetition, he built powerful imagery through his careful selection of verbs, adverbs and adjectives and he was able to use a range of sentence lengths to build suspense.

Congratulations Leo, a superb write. I can not wait to read many more pieces of your writing in the future!
