Improving Descriptive Writing

This easy to follow lesson helps students to improve their descriptive writing.

It takes the class through three stages of editing a description of a storm and allows them to practise their descriptive writing, editing their own work until they have an interesting and inspiring piece of description.
The students will learn about:

• Personification
• Similes and metaphors
• Using powerful vocabulary
• The use of parenthesis
• How to vary sentences

Teachers can use just the Power Point or copy the passages and paste them into a worksheet for the students to highlight.
