Writing Prompts
Steph Westwood 2015
Write a paragraph about your favourite word.
Why is it your favourite word?
Steph Westwood 2015
Some things to think about
before you begin:
What is it about your favourite
word that makes it special?
Do you like the way it sounds or
looks?
Does it have something to do
with a favourite activity or
hobby? What does your
favourite word say about who
you are and what you like!
What do you predict
will happen based
only on the title and
what you see.

*A Procedural: eg. How the baby became like this.

Appearances Can Be Deceiving
In the trailer, we're introduced to characters whose appearances are very different from
their personalities. Describe the character Sully's appearance and why children might find
him so scary. Then, describe the personality he appears to show in the film. Compare and
contrast the expectations his appearance creates and the reality of his personality.

In Epic, the Leafmen are miniscule characters, smaller than people in the 'real
world'. Why do you think the writer chose to 'shrink' these characters? Would
the story be the same if the Leafmen were a 'normal' size?
