To help us get ready for our independent character description, we took part in a paired write. Working with a partner gave us the chance to share ideas, improve our sentences, and challenge each other’s thinking.
Our focus was on using expanded noun phrases to add detail and bring our writing to life. Together we looked closely at ‘The Gorm’, a character from Podium: One Ear. We practised choosing precise adjectives and descriptive details to create clear pictures in the reader’s mind.
The children really enjoyed working collaboratively and are now feeling confident and excited to apply these skills in their own independent writing. We can’t wait to see the amazing character descriptions they create!
