Wendy Said:

GCSE English Writing to persuade HELP!!!?

We Answered:

Why not get a local newspaper and see how they do it? You might even get a great idea of what to base it on if they have an advert section to say what really is happening.
If you're not in an English speaking country, a local paper in your own language will still be able to give you an idea.

Marjorie Said:

Can anyone think of some engaging HIGH SCHOOL level writing activities?

We Answered:

1. Photo Prompt. Get some old black and white photos and let them inspire your writing for 10 minutes.
2. Free Write. Write constantly for 5 minutes. Whatever comes to mind, just write it. It's like a stream of consciousness.
3. Group Story. Have each person write three sentences, then pass the paper to a partner and they write three sentences, etc.
4. Rewrite a Classic. Pick a scene from Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, or any other literary work and rewrite it in a different environment or time period. For example, the balcony scene in 21st century New York.
