Writing – warm up

You have committed a murder. Write about your day without mentioning the deed.

Think about

• the way that you might write, • the language you would

choose, • the sentences you could

select. 10 mins

Don’t over think this - the idea is to get writing and get your pen and mind working. Your work might be hesitant, jerky, a stream of ideas and worries – get something down and be ready to share.
