So, how did you do...? The 5 senses Sight Sound Smell Taste Touch A good piece of descriptive writing should include Adjectives Powerful verbs Alliteration Onomatopoeia Imagery Similes Metaphors personification The 5 senses Sight Sound Smell Taste Touch Different types of sentences: one word sentence, simple, compound complex.

Planning a description – the walk through Focus Sights Taste Sounds Smells Feel/touch Approaching the camp “this is what a million people looks like” At the fence (photos 1,2,3) As Solomon looks through the fence and sees Jessie As Solomon is assaulted by the guard As Jessie is dragged away.

Watching the film We will now watch Maddy, Solomon and Danny as they approach the refugee camp. Take notes on your planning sheet as we watch. We will watch the scene a couple of times. You are taking notes to describe the camp in a magazine article. Watch from them coming out of the hilicopter up until they pull Solomon away from the fence.

Refining your planning Choose the best description of sight – circle it. Now doe the same for taste, smell, sound and feel. You should have 5 boxes circled. Now, your aim is to choose the three best boxes in each row. Each row represents a paragraph. You do not need to describe every sense in every paragraph. However, you do need to describe all the senses at sometime through out the piece.

 Planning a description – the walk through Focus Sights Taste Sounds Smells Feel/touch Approaching the camp “this is what a million people looks like” At the fence (photos 1,2,3) As Solomon looks through the fence and sees Jessie As Solomon is assaulted by the guard As Jessie is dragged away. 

Now you try... Imagine you are a journalist, you are trying to describe to the readers in Australia what the refugee camp is like. Using your notes from the planning sheet, describe the visit to the refugee camp. Make sure that you use all the ‘writing to describe’ techniques on your descriptive writing sheet.
