What a great start to our creative writing today!
We loved drawing characters from descriptions. Here is the text that we used:
Deep inside the dark cave lived a fanged, hideous creature known as Dink.
Covered from head to toe in grotesque, white spots and crusty, mud-soaked skin,
you could smell Dink before you could EVEN see him. On the very top of his
head, lived a family of lice that played all day in his bright green, unwashed hair.
His muscular body escaped from his tiny clothes which were soaked in sweat.
Look at our drawings of Dink.
This was a really fun way to read accurately, check for understanding and look at ways to create good descriptions. Why not try this at home with another text? A good one is The BFG, by Roald Dahl.
