Description

Descriptosaurus: A Language Toolkit and Support for Creative Writing for 9- to 12-Year-Olds This fully updated fourth edition of Descriptosaurus provides a comprehensive language toolkit to help young writers improve their creative writing, confidence, and facility with sentence construction. The book offers a range of tools and techniques to expand descriptive vocabulary, experiment with language, and build narratives around settings, characters, and creatures. The expanded edition includes new vocabulary for non-fiction topics such as volcanoes, mountains, and caves, as well as an additional chapter on cold climates and polar exploration. It also provides guidance on using word lines to expand vocabulary and explore shades of meaning, along with new tools to support the teaching of sentence construction using imitation, combining, and expansion techniques. Suitable for English teachers, literacy coordinators, and PGCE students, Descriptosaurus is accompanied by Instructor and Student Resources, including games, planning sheets, and vocabulary builders.
