Challenge: Writing for Mills and Boon• You should write a scene between two characters (male and

female) which should feature a resisted kiss and dialogue.• The male should be dominant• Aim to address gender stereotypes – girl weaker, man powerful• Make sure you think carefully about your verb phrase choices • Think carefully about the actor – the man – and his material

processes• Think about how you can show your female character as more

passive e.g. through mental and negative material processes

Development

• Swap texts• Highlight the verbs

• How have they been used?• How have they fictionalised the genders?

• Try to use the terms ‘transient’ ‘intransient’ and the different processes.

Reflect

• What have you learnt today?

• What did we do that helped you to learn?

• What do you need to do to consolidate your learning?
