More slow writing – suggestions please

Thank you for all the fab feedback on Slow Writing. Most of the recognistion really belongs to David Didau and David Riley. I am just the maven that stole the idea from one David and gave it to the other. Now we need a few more. Here is what we have so far;

“must be just one word.”,”must end with an exclamation mark!”,”must contain alliteration.”,”must contain an assertion (opinion presented as a fact).”,”must contain a rule of three.”,”must contain an embedded subordinate clause.”,”must start with the word ‘Although’ / When / As.”,”must contain a colon.”,”must start with a connective.”,”must contain a metaphor.”,”must contain a statistic.”,”must be written in the passive voice.”,”must be 15 words in length.”,”must contain brackets.”,”must focus on the sense of smell/taste/touch/hearing.”,”must be sarcastic.”,”must start with a present participle.”,”must contain only three words.”, “must contain a semi-colon.”,”must be a rhetorical question.”,”will start with an adverb.”, “must contain a simile.”, “must start with an imperative verb.”, “must use repetition for emphasis.”, “must contain emotive language.”

 

@ parenthetic commas; one word sentence; start with 2 adjectives (Hot & tired...); powerful verb (no adverb); fronted adverbial

Any more ideas woudl be appreciated.

Next @Laura_Suths would like personalised or language specific tasks prompts. We will try and get to it soon Laura but for now its the end of a long and busy day.

This is brilliant but could we make one that could be entirely personalised. For example, one to be used when teaching persuasive writing?
