Descriptive Writing Task and Sentence Handouts

A descriptive writing task based on a scene from Atonement. There is also a resource which could be stuck into exercise books to support students in varying their sentence openings in descriptive writing. A handout has also been provided to show students the different types of sentenecs and how they can use them in their descriptive writing.

It would be best used in supporting students to learn the skills required for the new GCSE specification. It can be used as a stand alone lesson, embedded within a scheme or as a cover lesson. All of the instructions are on the activity sheet along with an image to act as a springboard for their response.
