Key learning points
- Writing is most successful when it is planned.
- A narrative opening should engage the reader and describe the setting and any characters who are present.
- This narrative outcome will be written in the third person.
- Using a wide range of precise, ambitious vocabulary enhances text cohesion.
Keywords
Senses - the physical abilities of sight, smell, hearing, touch and taste
Past tense - shows action has happened before now
Fronted adverbial - a sentence starter followed by a comma
Figurative language - the use of simile, metaphor and personification to create vivid imagery
Common misconception
