Ernest Hemingway
“Do not worry. You have always written before and you will write now.
All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that
you know.”
So with this in mind our task was to create a one true sentence about a bear on a chair.
Task
1)Write one (short) true sentence. As fewer words as possible.
2)Add a description of the content (the bear)
3)Add a description of more content (the chair)
4)Give the bear an emotional quality
5)What is going to happen next?
6)What happened before?
A Brown Bear.
He was not big or tall, he was just a bear.
The chair where he sat was still standing
The bear sat there, worried.
He saw something in the Forrest.
He didn't know what happened before.
From the task above is the one true sentence that I made just from the bear sitting on a chair. So this has helped me in a lot of ways. When I come to writing my essay, I am going to pick out one true sentence and then see if I can turn this into more words.

Home Task - One True Sentence
An iPhone 6.
In his hand.
It was white, I wonder why?
The phone was unlocked.
He stood thinking.
He had just finished a phone call.
He began to run.
Above is the task I was set and it was to pick another object to describe. So just from one picture of an iPhone you can really pick out so many different reason why it was in his hand. This is a good start for my writing skills and has helped me prepare for my essay.
