6. Examples:
Combining ‘Slow
Writing’ technique
and Temple Run App
The children used slow writing to write their paragraphs.
The children tried really hard to think about how they
wrote just as much as what they wrote. Their rules
were:
Sentence 1 – Must contain a connective.
Sentence 2 – Must have three adjectives.
Sentence 3 – Must use alliteration.
Sentence 4 – Must appeal to the senses
Sentence 5 – Can only be three words
Sentence 6 – Must start with an adverb.
Eventually, I saw the light at the mouth of the temple. I was running for my life through the dark, murky,
misty forest. I dodged and darted swiftly around the corners. The smell of the dead gagging animals
made me feel sick. Just don’t stop! Desperately, I was out of breath but I had to keep running
otherwise I wouldn’t be alive.
Eventually I saw the sparkling light off the idol’s ancient temple’s mouth. I had found the fantastic,
amazing majestic shiny idol and I got even though it wasn’t easy. Evil demons chased me and I jumped
over towering trees everywhere. The sweat trickled down my body. Just don’t stop. Nervously, a cliff
came, so I sprinted and I jumped.
Suddenly I saw a little glimmer of light at the start of the temple, then I heard a sound. I knew I had to
run as fast as possible before the demon evil monkeys tried to rip me bits. As I ran I had to jump over a
raging fire and then I had to skid under towering trees. I smelt a horrifying smell from the swamp a few
metres away. Don’t give up! Slowly, the monkeys strode away.

8. Now think about other apps...
Try it with a group in your class?
Or use during intervention?
We are looking into every class being able to use these apps during whole
class teaching through linking to the Smartboard!
