Writing about Emotions!
This highly engaging and informative double lesson (around 1.5 to 2 hours of teaching materials) helps build students’ ability at using varied and imaginative techniques to describe emotions in their creative writing. Specifically, students learn how to create in-depth paragraphs detailing the emotional state of their narrator and characters, both implicitly and explicitly.
I wrote this lesson because I noticed that there are an extremely high volume of students that approach creative writing tasks (even in their GCSEs) offering little depth or detail in terms of their characters emotions. Even though they have clearly learnt a number of writing techniques from their teachers, their emotional writing often merely explicitly states how a character feels, using the same four or five emotions.
In this lesson, students learn:
- To define what emotions are;
- To understand and use the vast range of emotional vocabulary and synonyms available in the English language;
- To investigate different emotions, including how they can manifest themselves;
- To understand how emotions can be communicated utilising a range of descriptive devices;
- To create an imaginative and emotionally-driven piece of creative writing;
- To self-assess their creative writing attempts;
Included are all worksheets, and detailed and visual PowerPoint presentation, which explains each concept clearly, and a lesson plan for teacher guidance.

Written Communication with Parents - CPD Session!
I delivered this CPD session to all members of our staff team who maintain regular contact with parents and other stakeholders, in a bid to improve the quality, accuracy, and clarity of our written communications. I'd recommend that the session takes about 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes to deliver.
We had received some negative feedback comments, regarding our communications, varying from examples of poor grammatical accuracy, to instances in which the tone of emails, letters, and other forms of correspondence were perceived as rude. It is surprising how common this is across schools, and how little training is provided on these forms of interaction. Following this training, we are receiving far fewer complaints, and many staff members now keep the help-sheets pinned up by the desks to refer to when communicating with parents.
Participants learn through:
- Participating in a fun pub-style quiz to eradicate common spelling, punctuation, and grammar misconceptions and errors;
- Considering the role of parents, their needs and interests, and what they expect from their child's school, as a means to understand why schools sometimes receive difficult communications;
- Reading and analysing examples of poor written correspondence, considering how both the tone and the accuracy can be improved;
- Exploring different language strategies to create a personal, polite tone within emails, by considering the connotations of different words;
- Taking away help sheets that can be referred to whenever written communications are being drafted.
The resource pack includes:
- Colourful and engaging whole-session PowerPoint presentation ;
- Examples of written communications for participants to analyse;
- Quiz answer sheet;
- Accurate Written Communication help-sheet;
- Polite Written Communication help-sheet.

(Please note that the only section of the PowerPoint that you may wish to modify is with regards to the distinct features of parents at your own school - Aside from this, the resources are good to go!)
