What should I
include?
An example
All my tenses are
correct
Every sentence makes
sense!
I use adjectives and
adverbs to describe
the nouns and verbs in
my writing.
I use similes and
metaphors to compare
and describe.
Every step I take,…
I use personification
to describe.
Crunch... Crunch.... The sound of my heavy footsteps rudely interrupts the eerie
silence that fills the park. Every step I take leaves a fresh, crisp footprint in the
snow, as if I am the only person to have ever been here. Icy air whistles around
my ears, causing my skin to tingle and sting whilst snowflakes parachute gently
down from the sky. Some branches of the trees bow with the heavy load they are
carrying however other branches are bare; they claw up to the sky like witches
fingers. Everything glistens, as if a fairy has sprinkled her dust over the entire
world. Lining the pathway, street lamps stand proudly like soldiers guarding their
territory. The airs smells pure and fresh. Everything seems quieter. Almost
muffled. There is a sense of serenity in the atmosphere; winter is finally here...
I use alliteration to
create effect in my
writing.
I vary my sentence
structure to keep my
writing interesting.
My handwriting is neat
and joined.
The park is a winter
wonderland.
Heavy footsteps.
Crisp, white snow…
Snowflakes fall
gracefully.
The snow is as soft as
cotton wool.
The snow is a soft
carpet.
Streetlights blink their
eyes through the gloomy
mist,
Cheerful children play in
the snow.
As I wander through the
park, I feel the icy wind.
(Complex)
The cold stings my face
however I carry on walking.
(Compound)
Winter has arrived. (simple)
Have I used/done it?
