Describing our Senses - Taj Mahal

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
