Writing Effective Character Descriptions

Writing Effective Character Descriptions

Year 2

This resource introduces children to writing sentences with greater detail and variety when describing characters. The PowerPoint models how to use adjectives, similes, powerful verbs and show don’t tell while the planning sheet helps pupils organise their ideas about appearance, personality and movement. The task sheet then builds towards writing fuller sentences and paragraphs, encouraging children to move beyond simple openers like “The boy…” and experiment with richer, more engaging descriptions.
