Excellent! from JayneJayneJayne, 20 September 2011	(report comment)	4 out of 5
Brilliant. Will definitely be using this with my Year 7s; they're writing descriptive stories. Thank you! from lottylois, 14 September 2011	(report comment)	5 out of 5
Quite a good resource. A half hour lesson that will engage students. I extended it to an hour by having them write their own examples of each language technique and it worked well. from kirszman, 29 June 2011	(report comment)	4 out of 5
Will be useful- will adapt it to my project. I am looking for ideas for "Frankenstein's Aunt" and a medium term plan. from atticus9, 30 November 2010	(report comment)	4 out of 5
