Creative Writing Lessons (Narrative Structure, Vivid Language, Imagery, Sensory Descriptions)

These resources have been designed to allow pupils to understand the essential components of a creative writing piece and incorporate them into their own extended writing.

I have used these for both KS3 pupils and GCSE pupils.

This series of lessons begins with the fundamentals (adjectives, verbs, adverbs etc.) before moving onto more challenging elements of crafting a creative writing piece (narrative structure, sensory descriptions). Each lesson and activity incorporates Active Learning strategies to fully engage pupils in a fun and interactive study of creative writing, with plenty of opportunities to develop their descriptions as they proceed.

Included in these resources are PowerPoints and Worksheets on:
- Creative Writing Checklist
- Developing Descriptions: Adjectives, Verbs and Adverbs
- Understanding Metaphors and Similes
- Metaphor and Simile Homework Sheet
- Using Vivid Language
- Using Sensory Imagery (guessing game)
- Worksheets to help include Sensory Imagery
- Famous opening lines and Sentence Openers
- Inspiration for famous pieces of literature
- Descriptive Settings Guessing Game
- Structuring Stories
- Re-writing boring descriptions
- Settings images
