What students need are more action verbs. Show students an example of a sentence with too many adjectives and then the same sentence using verbs. Here’s an example: Ms. Nina was mean, cruel, and horrible versus Ms. Nina swiped the paper from my desk and announced to the entire class that my work was too messy. For this exercise, analyze the difference between the two sentences with students and then have them try it out on a sentence from their first draft. Tell students to have characters doing something to show what they want to describe rather than using describing words.

Made the generalisation that most students enter middle school with their literacy and writing predominantly based on narratives and stories. This means that pronouns have very different meanings depending on whether it is an information text or a narrative. Not enough to just learn how to decode or spell unless they are taught skills to pull it all together to make sense. Talked about teaching reading a text without referring to the content - more content is not needed, as the goal needs to be that literacy knowledge is transferable. Stephen then talked about the underperformance of boys in Australian schools, citing that one of the reasons being that boys are focussed on the content – being unable to tell the difference between discussion, reports, analysis etc. There is something more than a bit nuanced about Graham, too. Yes, he counts Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese as mates, but he rarely works in Hollywood these days. He likes village life: he helps run his son’s football team and is a regular face in the Co-op. “I don’t want to be sitting on Palm Beach or driving down thingy boulevard,” he says. “It’s not for me.” LS: I think a lot of conversation around horror specifically is always about protecting kids, and feeling like kids aren’t actually old enough for horror, but every person I know that actually is into horror got into it so much earlier than anyone thinks.
