L.O. To revise the importance of varying the presentation of shown feelings.
There is nothing that excites Bald Worm more than writers remembering to show, not tell. - but we're trying to avoid the 'speech + speech verb + feeling' pattern that can become boring in the middle of our stories by varying our use of 'shown feelings' and questions about the character'.
Homework: Write a dialogue (1/2 side of A4) using varied shown feelings based on the following scenario:
Oliver Twist is thrown out of the workhouse for asking for more food...but, in a horrible 'twist', hw is sent to live and work at Mr Bumble's house! Oh no! Write a scene showing how badly Mr Bumble treats poor Oliver.
Feeling clever? Try to include a colon and a semi-colon!
Due: Tomorrow (Thursday)
