Willow Class Star Writer

Our star writer this week is the lovely Brooke Atkinson. In literacy this week, we studied the status of our main character Billy in the story 'Bling!' We then considered the language the author had chosen to show his status. In the beggining of our story, Billy perceived himself as a loser, his only constant companion being Goji his cat. However, after gaining the power of turning anything to gold, he strolled into school as cool as a cucumber, oozing with superiority.

The children's task was to take an extract from the story, where Billy had a high status, and alter it so that Billy was deemed a playground worm. Broke did so successfully, changing her sentence openers, carefully selecting adjectives and verbs and adding accents with dialogue. Superb work Brooke, keep it up!
