Develop descriptive and creative writing by asking your students to look at the detailed work of Pieter Bruegel.
This resource includes a lesson plan, and within a presentation a fun starter activity which looks at Bruegels 'Netherlandish Proverbs'. The presentation then gives an example of how to fill in the worksheet.
The worksheet is a metacognition task which asks students to look at the artwork, write what they can see and then what they are 'thinking', 'wondering' or 'feeling'.
A selection of three Bruegel artworks are also within the PowerPoint ready to print of.
A great resource to get your students creatively writing.
To make it clear, this is not a presentation on Bruegel, I'm just using a PowerPoint to hold the activities. The PowerPoint is 6 slides long.
Slide 1: Starter Activity including some info on Bruegel.
Slide 2: A slide with animation that looks in detail at 'Netherlandish Proverbs'
Slide 3: A Bruegel artwork to use with the example worksheet to demonstrate what you would like students to do.

An exciting 'Exciting Words' starter.
Get your students into small groups. Lay out the 'boring words' on each table. (e.g. said, little, sad) Give the groups 5 minutes to write as many exciting words as they can, which they could use instead of the boring word, around each boring word. e.g. around 'said' they could write 'exclaimed' 'whispered' 'gasped'.
Next ask the groups to move to a new boring word and see if they can add any more words.
I usually ask them to move once more.
Next ask a student from each group to read out the exciting words.
This could be an activity where they use a thesaurus.
This resource includes a 'teachers notes' sheet which has lots of good examples for each word.
