Descriptive Writing

 LI: To understand how to use descriptive words to make your writing more interesting

Our focus for writing this week was to use descriptive writing, which means using words that are powerful, making your text more exciting to read and add more detail into your writing. We were tasked to work collaboratively in pairs to complete this task. 

Our task was to describe one of the two pictures that we were given. To make this task easier we would use our prior knowledge of sentence structures, nouns, verbs, adjectives, and descriptive words to create a piece of writing that uses descriptive words to make the text exciting to read.

Brain storming

This week we learned about brainstorming.

First we have to watch a video about brainstorming, when the video is done we need to get into partners.

Once we have our partners we have topics, When we get told the topics we have to write reasons on why we agree with the topic or why we disagree.

Next when we were done with the topics we have to create a google doc with school, home and community  then you have to write 3 topics having to do with home, school or community. When you have all of the topic you need to chose 2 topics and write reasons on why you agree with it. 

Rewriting narratives

A narrative can help with getting new ideas.

A narrative is when you get ideas from a story and rewrite it in your own words.When rewriting a character description the story line still needs to be like the original story line.

I changed the fox to the wolf because the animals are kind of similar to each other. The underground was changed to a den and the Gruffalo's favorite food was changed to wolf frosting.

 

Setting description

A setting description is describing a place in the story.

When you write a setting description you must have what it smells like, feels like, looks like and sounds like.

A setting description uses adjectives to help describe the place. An adjective is a describing word.

The setting description helps the readers understand and imagine what the setting is.

Character Description

A character description gives people information about appearance, experience and personality.

Appearance gives information about what the face, hair, body and clothes look like.

Experience gives information about where they live, who their family and friends are, their special interests, hobbies or talents, and their secrets or special achievements.

Personality gives information about what kind of person they are, how they behave, what do they say and what makes them interesting or different.

A character description can explain how they look, and more.

You can use verbs, Nouns, Adverbs and adjective and find synonyms for a random word.
For example make has a lot of words like create generate and design.
