Provide learners with repeated opportunities to write high-quality descriptions inspired by visual prompts, focusing on atmosphere, imagery, sensory detail and precise vocabulary selection.
This PowerPoint bundle contains multiple descriptive writing slides, each presenting the same core instruction:
“Write a description based on this image.”
The repetition allows teachers to:
model improvement across several writing attempts
run timed writing practice or intervention sessions
build independent use of the 5 senses in descriptive pieces
create peer or self assessment discussions around atmosphere and tension
encourage vocabulary growth through deliberate redrafting
The consistent task structure also supports easy adaptation across ability levels or lesson focuses such as:
Pathetic fallacy (weather reflecting mood)
Sound and movement for tension
Close observational detail
Sensory imagery and symbolism
Emotional or atmospheric tone in settings
