Language Features Practice GCSE/ Functional Skills

A complete GCSE English and Functional Skills English resource covering ten essential language features: personification, emotive language, alliteration, simile, onomatopoeia, metaphor, hyperbole, imagery, oxymoron, and juxtaposition. This pack includes a clear, student‑friendly PowerPoint lesson and a matching worksheet designed to build confidence in creative writing and descriptive writing.

Each slide provides a concise definition and model example taken from the lesson, such as “The clock yawned through the endless afternoon” and “The warm, buttery smell of fresh bread drifted through the kitchen”, helping learners recognise and apply features effectively. Every feature includes a “Your Turn” task, making the lesson ideal for whole‑class teaching, literacy intervention, revision, or cover work.

This resource supports:

Identifying and analysing language features

Improving creative and descriptive writing skills

Sentence‑level practice with scaffolded tasks

Mixed‑ability and SEND‑friendly delivery

Perfect for teachers looking for a ready‑to‑use language features lesson, writing skills practice, or a starter pack for creative writing units.
