Descriptive Writing Scaffolds - GCSE Paper 1 Question 5 Practice

This resource has been carefully crafted with the aim of enhancing students’ descriptive writing skills through the use of vivid imagery and targeted prompts. With the use of carefully selected images, it provides students with a visual stimulus to inspire their descriptive writing. Each image is accompanied by target vocabulary, encouraging students to expand their lexicon and choose words that precisely convey their intended meaning.

Learners are also prompted to incorporate a minimum of three forms of punctuation, linguistic devices and imagery (five senses) to enrich their writing and create vivid, engaging descriptions.

30 images are provided as well as one worked example. I have used this resource for years in my own classroom to help build the students confidence in creative writing. It is particularly useful for students preparing for GCSE English Language Paper 1, question 5, but can be used to help develop the creative writing skills of all students within the 11 - 15 age bracket.

As always, if you have any feedback or issues with this resource just let me know and I will be glad to help.
