Abstract "Descriptosaurus Personal Writing provides young writers with an opportunity to link their personal lives and school experiences and gives writing a meaningful and personal context. It is a resource that will guide and scaffold students to produce vivid, powerful, descriptive and meaningful personal text and, acting as a springboard for other genres, will dramatically improve the quality of their writing in all areas. It provides a detailed step-by-step guide through the writing process, by using a personal narrative to develop the skills, knowledge and understanding of writing a text. It demonstrates different techniques and provides useful tips and suggestions on how to revise a text and transform it into a vivid, powerful, descriptive personal narrative. With prompts, plans, methods and models for poetry and prose, this book helps tackle each stage of the writing process from planning and writing a first draft to revising and editing. Descriptosaurus Personal Writing is an ideal vehicle for welcoming and celebrating different cultures, experiences and stories into the writing curriculum: an ideal resource to dramatically improve children's writing for all KS2 primary and KS3 secondary English teachers, literacy coordinators and parents"-- Provided by publisher.
