1)This flexible pack consists of a six slide PowerPoint with clear wording and attractive graphics. It explains what the hallmarks of descriptive and narrative writing are and suggests ten key features that students might include. It also works well for teaching descriptive writing…the slideshow covers core shared key areas for both writing style and makes it clear that narratives develop plot and character a bit more, whereas descriptions focus on zooming in on details and have simpler plots. The slideshow has a heavy emphasis on the common core of descriptive techniques ideal for all types of composition. This ‘slide of key techniques’ can be printed out and given to students as a reference reminder sheet as they write their stories.
2) The second file consists of an ‘image grid’ of various scenes from a horror tale…approaching the house, entering, what’s inside, what is encountered and so on. This could easily work as a descriptive writing activity as well. The image grids work on A4 or A3 Students are set a task to write their own pieces, choosing from option she in the image grid to encourage them to create detailed and developed paragraphed prose. The images are great differentiators as the weaker kids can scaffold their answers with them whilst more able students can use more images and develop them into more detailed narrations with developed narrative voice and description. Also fun to use!
