Language Skills - Fiction - Writing

In this lesson, we will be looking at how to plan effectively for a setting based descriptive task. We'll look at a range of planning tools to help us generate ideas and organise our material in a way which will have an impact on the reader.

In this lesson, we will be looking at how to respond to an image-based description task: either of a person, persons or objects. We will start by thinking about different character types and their function in written texts before experimenting with a number of stimulus images and techniques.

In this lesson, we will be exploring how symbolism can be used in our writing. We will start by looking at some potential symbols and generating our initial ideas. Then, we will look at how one of these symbols has been used by a student in a piece of writing before returning to our own work and developing our ideas further.

In this lesson, we will establish the key features of narrative writing. We will plan a response together, thinking about what we want to achieve and then looking specifically at the introduction, climax and conclusion. You will then have an opportunity to review and refine your response by following our success criteria.
