Teach the skills
I lower myself gently down the last few feet of pink, granite rock, attempting to pick my way through the broken and smashed jungle. The body of the aircraft has torn through the palms and dense foliage forming a deep scar in the otherwise flawless landscape. I lose my footing in amongst the creepers and broken trunks falling heavily, I grasp at the splintered branches in an attempt to gain my balance. The heat, a visible haze, distorts the images of the fallen tree trunks and tangled creepers. A bird, a flash of blue and silver, disturbs the haze and silence with a single, witch like cry. Once disentangled I steal away through the branches clambering over a broken trunk and exit the distressed, jungle environment. Cautiously, I part the dense, dark curtain of palm leaves and step into a noiseless unknown... Wonderment. The shore is lined with palm saplings, a series of coarse trunks guard the water’s edge. The palm’s green feathers dance in the light breeze unaware of the destruction in the surrounding jungle. The white surf disturbs the tangled reflection of quivering palms in the polished water. As I approach the water’s edge I see a school of tiny, gold, glittering fish flicking amongst the tropical weed and efflorescent coral.
Look carefully at the model. Where you see examples of the writing tools listed below, number them accordingly in the model.

7.

1.
Question to check if unsure Can you spot I, me or my? Does the word tell you how the action is being performed? Can you ‘do’ the word? Do the word/words describe an object? Can you spot the comma after an adverbial start? Or around additional information within a sentence? Does the word link past/present? Does the word suggest time has passed? Can you spot any 'ing’ endings or verbs like ‘is’? Can you spot a single word with capital letter and full stop?
You can. I can’t. Ok lets try it a different way
Self-Assessment Once you have completed your description I would like you to check and see if you have used the following: -Consistent use of first person- I/My/Me -Adverbs- Are you describing the action? -Sophisticated Verbs- Do they give the reader an idea of the intent? -Adjectives- Is it describing an object? Have you used more than one for a particular object? -Use of commas- Have you used a comma around an embedded clause or after an adverbial start? -Connectives- Have you used words that join together two ideas? -Single words. Have you used words on their own for impact? Remember these are the tools that enable confident and sophisticated writing. If you find any of these in your writing double tick against where you see them. This is your opportunity to show that you not only know what these words mean BUT you are also able to use them in your writing to aid the reading and promote the pleasure of your descriptive piece. 1.Do you feel you have used of sophisticated language confidently enabling the reader to visualise where you are and what you are experiencing 2.Have you navigated the reader fluidly through the writing by using tense and personal pronouns consistently? 3.Have you organised your description into structured and sequenced sentences, paragraphs? 4.Have you used punctuation for effect? Have you achieved a Band 4? + Comment
Target- How could I improve?
I scramble through the ravaged, tough, thorn bushes. In the background I can hear the sparkling, blue, untouched sea crashing on the heated sand. Deep in the jungle an unforgiving scar cuts deeply into the beauty of the forest. Rain shatters on top of the plane. An abundance of flourishing foliage surrounds me. Creepers dangle in front of my face mingling with the beads of sweat trickling down my forehead. The penetrating heat blazes on my face and a dark bird cries echoes in my ear. The heat. The sounds. It is agonizing…
