This booklet uses a variety of extracts (easily available on the internet) which, in some cases have been simplified e.g. the Dickens Great Expectations extract, and short structured comprehension and written tasks that are linked to the extracts. Each extract and set of tasks aim to focus on a particular technique including vocabulary choices, considering connotations, simile, pathetic fallacy, personification. There is also some focus on sentence variety including using lists and varying sentence openers. The final task asks pupils to try to use all the skills covered in the activities. Would suggest aimed at low ability for KS4 students. Easily adaptable.
