Year 5: Writing a Longer Description

We have been learning about how to plan a longer description. If you're not careful, descriptions of 200-250 words can be really dull, or you can run out of ideas after 50 words.

Learn more about planning a longer description here at baldworm.co.uk; revise descriptive techniques here.

Task: Describe the trench. Write five paragraphs.

Revise Bald Worm's advice on planning a longer description before you put pencil to paper!
