Halloween Creative Writing - Describing a Spooky Character

This creative writing lesson focuses on describing a spooky character.
The lesson begins with a simile starter activity which can be completed as a class or in groups. It also then includes a follow up similes worksheet that learners could complete independently.

The resource then focuses on how we can describe a character by their:

• appearance
• behaviour/actions
• personality/attitudes

The resource includes a modelled passage about a vampire where learners can identify what they learn about the character and sort it into the three categories. Again this can be completed as a whole class or in groups or there is a follow up worksheet that could be completed independently.

The resource also includes:

• Planning page
• Word bank (with vocab for each of the three categories)
