Descriptive Writing - Year 5/6 is made up of six lesson overview, an 82 slide PowerPoint presentation and a 9-page booklet of worksheets.     The PowerPoint contains stage by stage lessons specifically designed to teach writing to describe at upper KS2. The resource contains a number of lessons which can be tweaked, personalised and differentiated to suit your teaching needs.    Descriptive Writing - Year 5/6 uses colour, imagery and engaging activities to create a vibrant and stimulating learning experience. It is a comprehensive and detailed resource.     The lessons are made up of a range of activities for learners of all abilities, including:   - The features of writing to describe   - Using adjectives effectively to create descriptive imagery   - How to use verbs effectively in descriptive writing   - Planning, structuring and organising writing   - Using similes to bring writing alive on the page   - Developing a wider vocabulary   - How to draft and redraft when writing to describe

In the "Spot the Adjective" worksheet, students are tasked with identifying adjectives within a series of sentences. Adjectives are words that describe or modify nouns, giving more detail about the object or person in question. The worksheet provides a variety of sentences, each containing one or more adjectives that the students must find. They can choose to underline, circle, or highlight these descriptive words to demonstrate their understanding of the role that adjectives play in adding colour and specificity to language.

For example, in the sentence "The vicious dog ran straight for me," 'vicious' is the adjective that describes the dog, giving insight into its temperament. In another sentence, "The angry sea crashed against the black rocks," both 'angry' and 'black' serve as adjectives; 'angry' describes the sea's turbulent state, while 'black' gives us a visual cue about the colour of the rocks. The exercise continues with sentences that include multiple adjectives, such as "The fragile, old lady peered through the smashed window," where 'fragile', 'old', and 'smashed' all function as descriptive words. This worksheet is an engaging way for students to practice their grammatical skills and enhance their descriptive writing abilities.
