Wildebeest Writing

Yesterday we used this animated video as a writing prompt.


We discussed ideas about the structure of the story.


There was a lot of direct speech coming through in our writing, so we had a mini-lesson on punctuating direct speech.


The students' writing is very entertaining so far. Many have chosen to completely change the characters. Look out for their presented writing on the student blogs (links on the right).
