Super Writers to the Rescue!

In our VCOP sessions, we have now commenced our narrative unit. This week, we looked at characterisation, around a superhero topic. We created a superhero and then completed a character profile, considering their appearance, superpowers, mission and gadgets. The student then had a go at writing an introductory paragraph, describing their character using colourful vocabulary and powerful verbs. Some of their work is featured below for your enjoyment:
