3 GCSE English Language 9-1 Self-Scaffolded Descriptive Writing - Whole Text Exercises

The idea behind this resource is that students are already aware of scaffolded writing and are now ready to have a go at scaffolding their own. This is why this resource has self-scaffolded in the title!

This resource consists of:

• 3 editable word documents – each containing a separate self-scaffolded descriptive writing task. There are a few hints on each paragraph the students will write but you can take these off if you think it is still too much of a spoon-feed!
• A Lesson plan
• A Powerpoint of the pictures in case you want to project them on to a smartboard
• A WAGOLL (what a good one looks like) for the third exercise (based around the First World War).

It is hoped that after this point the students will be able to plan a very successful piece of descriptive writing without any prompts at all. The three exercises all follow a similar plan so by the time they have done all three, they should be ready!
These exercises cover the following Assessment Objectives:

AO5: Communicate clearly, effectively and imaginatively, selecting and adapting tone, style and register for different forms, purposes and audiences. Organise information and ideas, using structural and grammatical features to support coherence and cohesion of texts
AO6: Candidates must use a range of vocabulary and sentence structures for clarity, purpose and effect, with accurate spelling and punctuation.
