Show transcript
Planning before you write will support you to demonstrate skill in key areas and ensure your piece is cohesive. Supporting details describe the focus of each paragraph in more detail – using sensory detail (at least 3 senses). Similes and metaphors are effective in descriptive writing because they help the reader to picture the scene. Choose verbs or adjectives that work together to create an overall atmosphere.
