 * Writing **

Please insert one sample of student writing from your class. If this is in digital format you can simply copy and paste it across by clicking "Edit" selecting the place and pasting and saving. If it is in the students writing book, scan it to a file or use a digital camera to take a photo. Click on the File icon above, click upload files, select the file and upload. Click on the image and use the + or - button to adjust the size so that it is readable but not scaled off the page.

Do not include student names and you do not need to identify your details either. Please just put the time since entering school and the context for writing - e.g. personal recount, poetic writing.



Warm glows of sunlight beaming through the mossy canopy like lasers through metal. Gaping wounds, sap slowly sliding, sunlight reflecting off them like gems falling from the sky. Branches of twisted trees waved and danced around in the howling winds of Mount Taranaki. The spines of leaves fluttered to the ground with an awkward silence. The tree had been infected with the slimy gashes of moss; it felt cold like the tree was weeping with sorrow. Crippled branches with twisted vines crawling up the trunk, slimy icky moss smothered the tree. Chirping cicadas filled the eerie silence. Volcanic rock lay everywhere like a vicious earthquake had torn through everything in its path. You can hear waterfalls everywhere, rushing rapidly with extreme force.

So watch your step.
