KS2 Descriptive Writing Example Texts! (WAGOLLs)

This original, imaginative and purposeful range of WAGOLL (what a good one looks like) texts have been created to provide model examples of effective descriptive writing.

There are eight original example texts in total, modelling good practice for a varied range of descriptive activities. They include:

1. Under the Sea
2. Journey to Outer Space
3. The Haunted House
4. A Day in the Life of a Zookeeper
5. Polar Adventure
6. Journey Back to the Time of the Dinosaurs
7. Holiday in Barbados
8. Life in the Year 2100

Each example contains a range of apt descriptive devices, for example similes, metaphors, alliteration, personificantion, onomatopoeia and many more.

Each of the texts is provided as PDFs (to protect the original formatting) and as Word files (in the zip folders - so that you can edit if you want to).
