Out of the 3 pieces of writing we had to plan and then write; Life in a day, restaurant review and creative writing.
For the restaurant review we had to refer back to a style model written by A.A GILL to influence us and give us idea into writing our own review pretending to be someone completely different to our age group to challenge ourselves. A.A GILL's restaurant review was fairly formal and contained a variety of completed lexis, which meant my review would be worded slightly different however the style model was a helpful guide when I was writing my own especially in terms on graphology. Even though this made it easier for me , it wasn't my most enjoyable task out of the 3.
Creative writing on the other hand was more enjoyable and interesting, my aim was to make it detailed and descriptive with a good storyline without making it too long and boring. I found it hard to make it a good story without going into too much detail. My style model was the story/film 13 going on 30, which wasn't so helpful as it was a review of the film instead of the actual storyline therefore made it harder to look back and get ideas.
My favourite task would be; 'life in the day' as I was writing about my Dad it was easier for me tas I knew how to write about how his day goes. I enjoyed building up his character for the audience. I showed his
character through phonology and voice by using certain words. The style model was also easy to
follow as it went in steps of how someone day went.
Over-all I'd like to write about 'Life in the day' again
I agree with you, Hayley. You had a real sense of voice for this... We can discuss specific points to move forward.
