To write your own narrative I have attached some worksheets that you will need to put into your own wiki. Don't forget this is the structure of a narrative and helps make it interesting!! Rimu Book Launch

Rimu it is your job to produce the next best seller! This is not an easy task you will need to collaborate and work systematically when writing this book as a group to produce a product that is of exceptional quality and of a standard that your target audience is willing to purchase.

Not only do you need to write the story but you also need to produce everything a book has e.g. cover, acknowledgements, contents, blurb, recommendations ...

Alongside producing the book Rimu will also be holding a book launch. There are a variety of tasks that need to be completed successfully for this to happen. You will need to put together a campaign including a website promoting the book with book trailer, posters, radio advertisement and newspaper advertisement. Remember to use your prior knowledge and include that persuasive language you learnt in Term 1. The best campaign will be used as our official book launch.

//NB: Everything must be// __//completely//__ //original. This is a real book, you must not take images from the internet. All illustrations, logos, designs must be made by you. There is no limitation other than your own creativity. You might choose to sketch with charcoal, paintings, design images online, take photographs ... the choice is endless. Please remember to negotiate your plans with me and keep a journal and reflections of your progress.//

__ Personification __

__Personification does not compare two items in the same way as similes and metaphors compare. Rather, when writers use personification, they give objects (or even ideas) human qualities. These human qualities add a new dimension to the things, a dimension that ordinary description cannot add. "The field of dandelions danced in the breeze," is an example of a sentence which contains personification. Notice that the field of dandelions is the thing being described and that danced is the human quality given to the field. We do not normally associate dandelions with dancing, but we can imagine how dandelions would look "dancing" in the breeze.__ __Authors use personification to make fiction seem more real and make their writing more livelier.__

__Copy this table into your own Wiki and below write the object and the human quality.__

Metaphors Metaphors are imaginative ways to describe something by comparing that thing to something else. For example, if I wanted to say that Dan is tall, I could say that Dan is a giant.

Use a metaphor to describe somebody who is:

tall kind fast slow smart fat sneaky angry beautiful ugly stubborn short thin silly scared easily He is a giant. She is an angle
