Pickpocket book trailers

After writing our pickpocket stories we decided we would create a trailer for each of them.

We watched some book and film trailers and decided that our trailer needed to include these things:

  • a rhetorical question
  • a use of numbers
  • a range of punctuation including an ellipsis and exclamation mark


Please check out our trailers below and leave us a comment!

Slow writing about Epic Citadel

On Friday we used a technique called slow writing. This involved writing only 6 sentences about Epic Citadel. The sentences had to be written like this:

1. This sentence must start with 'Imagine' and end in an exclamation make.
2. This sentence must include a conjunction.
3. This sentence must start with an adverb.
4. The sentence must include a power of three adjectives to describe.
5. This sentence can only be seven words long.
6. This sentence must be a question.

We then recorded our six sentences using images from the app. Please have a listen and leave a comment!
