Optional Homework for the 3rd week of the holiday.

You can't be bored already! There is plenty of of holiday left and the sun may shine again.
Oh well, here is the home work for this week.

L.O. To revise setting the scene using the five senses, colours, reference to light, details and figurative language.
As clever people, you'll know that a good story needs to include some description. Revise how to do this by clicking here:http://www.baldworm.co.uk/skills/location.html

Task:
Read my terrible description of a house...It was a big house. It has a path to the front door. It smelled bad. It looked untidy. It had a bad smell. The wallpaper was cheap. The carpet was dirty. The furniture was broken. You wouldn't want to live in this house.What a rubbish description!

Your job is to rewrite it, using interesting adjectives and all of our descriptive skills. I'm sure you don't need me to tell you to include the commas and complex sentences. !Write 10-12 lines and then annotate your writing, showing me where you have used the different descriptive skills from baldworm.co.uk.

When you have finished put your work neatly into your folder. We cant wait to see it. Have a good week.
