JOURNEYS + TRANSPORT Writing Sheet - views from windows

Transport studies and Literacy development are combined in this attractive writing activity, with line starters:
Through the windscreen of my car, I can see -
Through the porthole of my boat,
Through the window of my submarine,
… the windscreen of my helicopter
… the porthole of my rocket…,
with a generous, wide-spaced line under each for description. Encourage rich, imaginative and relevant description for each one, e.g. for the view from the submarine, perhaps a list of sea creatures and features, with accompanying adjectives. Encourage further entries with views from other vehicles and transport means - crazy ones included - writing on the reverse or extra paper if necessary, firing imagination and creativity as well as interest in the subject.

Round off with illustrations on separate paper.

Best for Juniors (ages 7-11 approx.).
