Through clear explanations, modelled examples and rewriting tasks, pupils explore how sound openers—often using onomatopoeia—can add drama, suspense and vivid sensory detail. The PowerPoint demonstrates how to combine sound words with powerful verbs, adjectives and additional detail for greater impact. Includes opportunities for discussion, partner work and independent practice, with differentiated tasks for applying the skill independently
