  1. Henry VIII’s wives have their say! OBJ: to understand what is included in emphatic writing, and how to create it

  2. What is empathy? • Empathy is the capacity to recognise emotions that are being experienced by another. • To write in this style, you must show that you understand what the person has been through, how they might feel, and attempt to create a voice for them.

  3. 1. Sound knowledge of what has happened • You must show you have understood what has happened to the person. “I have been sentenced to death for treason” This will show that you understand what factually happened, but this is just the beginning….

  4. 2. Thoughts, feelings and attitudes 2. You must show that you understand how the person would be feeling, how they would react to their situation and to others around them. “I can’t believe this is happening. I have been sentenced to death. After everything we’ve been through?” This will show that you are beginning to empathise with the person and their situation……

  5. 3. Adopting a character’s voice 3. You must show that you have attempted to show you understand them as a person; you’ve tried to show their personality. “I can’t believe this is happening. Damn him! Sentence me – to death?!” This will show that you know a little about their personality and have tried to capture their character traits.

  6. Getting to know our Queen • Make a list of the key moments in her life • How would she react to each moment? • What do we know about her as a person? What are her character traits? How can we make these reactions more authentic to her? • EXTRA: Will we write in a formal way? Can we use words key to the era?

  7. Getting to know our Queen Speed writing…….. 5 minutes: non stop writing. Don’t think about editing too much. Don’t think about what you’ve just written. Don’t stop writing! Highlight 3 parts you think sound authentic – this could be a phrase, a word or a whole sentence.

  8. Critique • Swap with your critique partner • Label why you think they’ve highlighted what they have. • Tick each factual piece of information you can find. • Circle any emotive words or phrases that show how they feel. • Writewhat went well about how they have captured her voice, and what could be even better if….. RE DRAFT FOR HOMEWORK

  9. Collating our best bits! • Write on a piece of paper the best parts of your redrafted writing. • I will collate them and photocopy. • We will redraft together on the board and create one piece of writing that includes all our best bits!
