Description

2. Release high attaining (AMA) writers to do indoor/outdoor writing independently
3. Shared (teacher led) writing of ‘indoor’ for everyone else
4. Rest of class use word bank (developed during part 1) for independent ‘outdoor’ writing
It would work well from Y2 upwards – I used it in Y3, but I can imagine older writers enjoying this activity.
Children use images and word banks to create wonderfully rich descriptive writing.
You are buying:
a detailed lesson plan and presentation, with inside/outside image
