Planning and Writing a Descriptive Response - English Language Paper 1 Question 5

This is a resource that will last approximately two lessons (could be used over three lessons with a lower ability group). It is designed for a low/mid-ability class and is ready to teach with minimal adaptation required.

The first lesson is designed to plan responses to the narrative writing option for Language Paper 1 Section B (Q5). There are a variety of tasks to encourage students to think about using sensory details, figurative language, and the zooming technique when responding to an image. There are also grade 4 examples of students’ responses to the activities set

The second lesson is designed to put the skills learnt in the first lesson into practice. There is an exemplar response for students to look at before using their planning to write their own response.

The lessons are based on the requirements for AQA, but can be easily adapted to suit other exam boards.
