Descriptive writing: Planning techniques
In this lesson, we will start with a quick quiz. We’ll then be looking at what the key characteristics of descriptive writing are and what we need to consider when planning for this style of response: organisation, vocabulary selection and technical accuracy. We will work our way through a range of planning techniques before reflecting on the design choices of our studied writers to help us build a successful plan. At the end of the session, there will be the opportunity to take a learning recap quiz.
