Creative Writing: Describing a Winter Setting

This resource focuses on describing setting during creative writing.

It begins with a starter which focused on personification and teaches learners how to use personification and create it.

The resource then shows a number of winter settings and encourages learners to describe the setting using the five senses. This can be printed as a page for learners to complete independently or in small groups. Alternatively, it can be completed as a whole class on the interactive whiteboard.

The resource then talks the learners through the process of planning. This resource uses the story mountain format which has been attached as a pdf.

Finally, the resource gives a modelled story opener to discuss with learners.
