You got the students to write ink-wasters, characters' stream-of-consciousness, their own opinions on an emotive issue, a poem with an angry tone, a letter of complaint, a rant to a newspaper...
to the sound of angry music?
Take this for instance:
Imagine that whilst they write down the secret thoughts of Lady Macbeth...or the Landlady from Roald Dahl's short story...or Curley!!
And what about despairing music as they pull the addressee's heart-strings in a piece of emotive journalism? Or empathise with the plight of Piggy, or Tess, or the boy in the striped pyjamas?
And what about exciting music to go with writing a chase scene?
Not forgetting horror...
and building suspense/atmosphere:
