Building on and consolidating knowledge from the previous two lessons, the lesson today explores sensory imagery and how to apply it to descriptive writing. Through the use of soundscapes, students will write creatively and be encouraged to justify descriptions based on just the sense of sound. Students will then green pen reflect on their descriptive piece this week and develop the quality of sensory imagery to meet a purpose.

To develop SPaG, students will explore different sentence types, lengths, and openings to develop the quality of their written expression. To begin with, students will explore the effect sentences can have on the reader, focusing on pace, emphasis, and development of ideas.

Students will be exploring a range of linguistic devices and securing their understanding of their definitions, use and effect. This will then be applied to an example of creative writing called ‘This is War’. Students need to identify the features in the crafted example, allowing them to incorporate this into their own piece.
