Celebrate being an author!
Purpose: When books are published the publisher writes a blurb about the author to include in the book.
Task: In your writing book glue in and then annotate the writing sample with your thoughts.
What do you SEE / THINK / WONDER?
KQ's:
- What genre(s) of writing is this? What is the purpose?
- What makes this writing special? What stands out for you?
- What ideas has the author chosen to include?
- How is the writing been structured / organised?
- What words / phrases has the author chosen to use to make the piece more effective?
- How are the sentences structured?
- How has the author used punctuation to enhance the writing?
- Highlight any inaccuracies with spelling
- How could this writing be improved?
Task: Imagine that your first book is about to be published and your publisher calls you with a problem. The blurb writer is out sick and they need that blurb written now. Write your own author’s blurb. Be imaginative
