Week 6: Imaginative Creations

19/10/2016

0 Comments

 
By Lucy Tirahan
This week was entitled 'Imaginative Creations' where the students had free reign on letting their creativity flow through their writing. Particularly this week I was trying to teach them different ways of presenting their writing aside from the usual style of a written story, hence for their starter activity I asked them to write a 'Recipe for a dream' (this was inspired from a Roald Dahl book). Afterwards, I gave the students a writing prompt which was "You turn the key, push the handle and as you open the door you saw..." to which they could respond however they wanted to, this task enabled me to challenge them to try writing in second person as opposed to constantly writing in first.

“You turn the key, push the handle and as you open the door you see…”

You turn the key, push the handle and as you open the door you see… a large emerald mountain rising as high as you could see. Falling from the tops of the gleaming cliff is an enormous, everlasting waterfall – not like any other. The water that you see is entirely made from dazzling diamond, radiant rubies and shining sapphires. Not only do you see a waterfall, but also pixies living in harmony and living in pleasure. You want to stay forever, but you know you can’t, but at least you may visit whenever you would like to get some extra money!

Manav

You turn the key, push the handle and as you open the door you see…
A world of Christmas; the world of Santa
Bells jingle joyously
Santa dances hysterically
His belly shaking up and down
The elves join the dancing
Flying up and down.
 
The aroma of ginger
The feeling of being overwhelmed
Reindeers pouncing elegantly
Whilst fairies hide in their realm!
Presents, gifts and luxuries
Waiting to be hugged
By little girls and boys
Who mostly await pugs.
You’re swung into the room
To take part in the fun
For Christmas is here
All is well and done!

Ayesha

You turn the key, push the handle and as you open the door you see…
A million creepy spiders scuttling everywhere and a large, brown, grizzly bear combing his luscious hair. A long green snake with a holographic rake and a minute baby crab wolfing down a cake. A giraffe dances in the trees whilst a gorilla examines his knees. A mermaid paints her tail with shimmery dust, a unicorn looks pretty, well, she must. A leprechaun embraces his gold while a dinosaur shrieked “this is getting old!” You shut the door and breathe in and out, you open the door again and give a shout – nobody is there.

Ria

You turn the key, push the handle and as you open the door you see…
The mystery that is me, all clean and pristine, not me at all.
Following the trap door, to see, what was beneath, the truth about me.
Something wasn’t right: gummy bears and all that, too much of a sweet tooth, it wasn’t nice…
One gummy drop sitting on its own, look inside, what will you find?
Falling through an endless hole, then you land upon the floor, open the door, there you see, roller-coasters all about me, fun for me, but not for you, thrills around the corner too – now you know me.
I’m a mystery, only you will know, along with the journey.

Harsimran
 
You turn the key, push the handle and as you open the door you see…
You see darkness…nothing but darkness. You peak inside – you’re scared. The darkness turns to light, you smell a rotten smell: you don’t know what it is, but it smells burnt, disgusting! You feel the mould on the walls as you tip toe in! you take a few steps in to find a green, strange alien dancing about like a baboon. Then, over the music that was playing, you hear the alien singing in tune to the music. It is dressed in a girl’s pink polka dot outfit: it was horrible! A thing that you would not like others to see…but you join in anyway!

Sanjana
 
you turn the key, push the handle and as you open the door you see…
a plain blue sky
and woodland creatures come to life.
A beautiful land
Of sea and sand
But what else could there be?
 
You could taste candyfloss lingering
To touch your sensitive tongue.
You could feel the beak of a cute
Little toucan
And its orange, yellow and red beak
Is as soft as your pillow!
 
Well now this is up to you,
To try something new.
To twist yourself into an adventure
Of your own imagination.

Fatima
 
You turn the key, push the handle and as you open the door you see…
A silly robot dancing front of the door.
He was supposed to be doing work
Instead was busting moves on the floor
He was driving me berserk!

    MEET LUCY

    Our Creative Writing Teacher

       I'm a student in year 12   
    who is passionate about writing and hopes to become successful in the industry when I'm older.

    I am lucky to have been provided with many opportunities throughout school to explore this skill and take it further. Writing is often seen as an unstable career but many people have inspired me to stay committed to something I love and to keep my drive, purely because it is with drive and dedication that you can overcome what is deemed impossible.

    I wanted to do something which would inspire younger years to take up creative writing, as I truly believe it is an art that can help you develop many skills and force you to think outside the ordinary.  

    I also believe that younger people have not been provided with a sufficient platform to make themselves heard, this blog is an alternative platform. I now run a creative writing club with Heston West Big Local once a week where I work with students aged 11-14 on creative writing pieces.

    They are all incredibly talented and each individual manages to write from a unique perspective. Each week we will upload their work, I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy working with them.
