Year 4/5 Setting Description Writing Unit

In this 2-week unit, children are writing a setting description about the Taj Mahal and Norwegian Fjord. I used this as part of an Around the World topic with a mixed Year 4 and 5 class.

This bundle includes all the resources from the 2 week unit -except from the similes and metaphors lesson which only contains the worksheets and not the powerpoint/board resources.

Lesson Structure:

1. Identifying features of a setting description using the example (Taj Mahal)
2. Identifying and using prepositions
3. Using exciting adjectives
4. Similes and Metaphors (only worksheets, no presentation/board resources)
5. Describing our senses
6. Introducing the Norwegian Fjord
7. Gathering vocab and creating a word bank
8. Independent write
