Develop descriptive and creative writing by asking your students to look at the detailed work of Van Gogh.
This resource includes a lesson plan, and within a presentation an introduction to Van Gogh's work. 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 four Van Gogh artworks are also within the PowerPoint ready to print off.
A great resource to get your students creatively writing.
To make it clear, this is not a presentation on Van Gogh, I'm just using a PowerPoint to hold the activities. The PowerPoint is 6 slides long.
Slide 1: Front Page
Slide 2: Introduction to Van Gogh.
Slide 3: A Van Gogh artwork to use with the example worksheet to demonstrate what you would like students to do.
Slides 4 - 7 Artworks to print off.
Excellent resource to use in lessons to encourage metacognition and real reading.
This is a one page resource. The picture shows you exactly what you are getting!

A table of expectations to share with your students before they start a piece a writing. You can then use the table for teacher assessment or self assessment.

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.
Display this work to inform the next piece of writing.
Read your class the ancient Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur and then ask them to sort the facts into true and false. Next ask students to sequence the true facts which gives a summary of the story! They can copy the story into their books.
