Quick writes are brief, timed writing opportunities that require only 3-10 minutes to integrate writing and critical thinking practice into any discipline.

Quick Write - Winter

Winter is here to devour the country in frost. Unlike spring, winter tells the animals to hide. Night time will come faster and morning will come later. When winter comes the animals are prepared for the long sleep, goodnight!

Description - Nature

Writing Focus: Begin Writing with Precise Description (what you notice)

Burnt crispy leaves falling down from the dark mysterious tree.

Annoying flies gliding down to the ground like pieces of paper floating in the air.

Bright painted grass swaying in the wind. And the ice cold wind climbing up a mountain.

Quick Write - My Little Worry

We are at the airport getting ready to go onto JetStar, to Australia, I’m quite worried I will get pushed over by a kangaroo! They look cute but trust me they aren't, but that’s only if you get close.

Quick Write - My Little Worry

This is my worry. Do you ever think in the dark that when you're alone something will happen to you? Like getting hurt by someone or something? Or you got lost and it was too dark to find your way back? I push my worries away by just thinking of something else...like cupcakes!

Description - Outside in Nature

Writing Focus: Begin Writing with a Bossy Verb (action)

Climbing trees way up high. Walking on a high bridge. There are high bridges and low bridges. Walking back home on the path at night time, stars twinkling way up high in the sky. Moon shining bright, super high!

Dialogue - Going to the Park

Writing Focus: To Hook a Reader in

“Last one to the swing is a rotten egg” I yelled. I started sprinting. I was running really fast but Mckay was running faster. Mckay got there first. He laughed.  I quickly said, “Last one to Mum and Dad is a loser”.  I got a head start and won the race.
