Writing Dialogue!

As part of our Writing lessons, the children have been writing dialogue between characters from our class novel, The Explorer.
Our focus has been on showing fear rather than just telling it. The children worked hard to choose powerful synonyms for “said”, carefully selected adverbs and added actions to bring their characters to life. This has helped their dialogue feel more dramatic, realistic and engaging for the reader.
The effort and creativity on display has been great to see; we just not need to make sure we keep applying our fantastic skills to our independent writing.
