DRAGON DESCRIPTIONS

1. Today we will be describing our Pet Dragon.  We will be using what we learnt last week about adjectives, alliteration and similes and creating atmosphere in our writing to write a really good description.

We will need to use our description planner to see what parts of the dragon we need to describe.  You will be writing a paragraph to describe each of his or her important features.  Remember, you know your pet dragon really well and you want to get us to picture what he or she looks like by using WORDS  to PAINT THE PICTURE!

2. KOREAN DRAGON – this website will show some special features which make dragons frightening.

3. DRAGON SIMILES AND METAPHORS by kids

4.  ORIENTAL DRAGONS – this website describes dragons with lots of similes

 

WRITING USING DESCRIBING WORDS

Today we are going to be using describing words in our writing.  Watch this YouTube clip of Animalia by Graeme Base to get some ideas of ALLITERATION (when the words start with the same sound… and roll off your tongue smoothly!).  

We will be describing a CASTLE in an ACROSTIC POEM.  Try to use as many good adjectives as you can and a SIMILE.  (comparing it to something else – EXAMPLE – …like a …. OR as ….as)
