Descriptive Writing, Using models in Writing

This is a lesson plan to develop learner’s thinking skills in their attempt to write the description of a scary place. This is suitable for students of Year 9,10 and 11. The students are first challenged to provide a descriptive account of a scary place. This will implicitly inform them about their shortcomings in descriptive writing. Afterward, they will read a description of a scary place taking notes of the vocabularies, ideas, and techniques used in the sample. Then the teachers collect the sample asking the students to write another description of a scary place. In the second effort, the students are allowed to use their notes.
