Stand Alone Description Lesson with Template Resource

This lesson walks students through creating a descriptive writing piece based on nature - particularly an Enchanted Forest. I used my students' ideas about the magical forest imagery from Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' in order to create the vocabulary and stand alone examples scattered throughout the PowerPoint.

There are a series of images on the PowerPoint that students may select as stimulus for their piece - this gives students more of a choice and enables unique and independent responses that the students feel ownership over.

There are small tasks and challenge tasks scattered throughout, all building up to creating the larger, more detailed GCSE style response. The word document also included, is an A3 sheet with the template of a tree, inside which, students can write up their final description in best. This can then be decorated and coloured in other lessons afterwards, and maybe used to create a creative writing display! Enjoy!
