Use the above image to write a beautiful setting description.
What literary features do you think I would like to see in your piece?
I think the passage below, written by Ewen, is absolutely enchanting and I wondered how his writing might inspire you to write a beautiful setting description using this image.
The swaying willow trees cast shadows across the forest. The beautiful blooming bluebells coated the grassy fields like a intricate tapestry woven by nature. Shards of sunlight glinted off the morning dew, which had clung to the bright green grass. A calming breeze drifted peacefully through the trees, as a sparrow’s melodious voice pierced the silence of the calm summer day. Nearby, a muddy path snaked through the grass and further on, a stream meandered through the hills on the other side of the forest. The calming sounds of the water reached the ears of every creature around it. Overhead, the bright sun burnt down on the forest creatures. This was a land nobody had been able to reach before. It was paradise.
I look forward to reading your versions…
I just had a look at what Ospreys had and I was blown away!!!
OoOoOo! I’ll be reading these…
Goodness – what fabulous language choices!
Every day, birds chirped and squirrels played while the nearby pond was filled by life. There were swaying trees ,which were as green as apples. Also, dancing flowers, which were soft to the touch of your fingers. A lilac meandering path led to a cosy cottage in which Grandma Margaret lived. It was Wonderland!
Hopefully it’s good ( ͡°ω ͡°)
As the ancient oak trees swayed in the spring breeze, Cally peacefully strolled along the narrow pathway. Slowly Cally turned around to see the beatiful blooming flowers.
I hope you like it Mrs. Watson.
You’ve made a promising start Emma…
The wind whistled peacefully. As ravishing birds chirped in delight, sunlight gleamed upon the impressive lavender field, in the middle of nowhere. Under this umbrella of trees, hid small creatures that had never been heard of before in modern society…
efective vocab. sofia I really like it
Thanks Olive 🙂
Yeah
It’s very effective
As the leaves blew in the breeze they gradually began to fall off the trees. Interestingly, days passed and the beautiful astonishing flowers began to unfurl. Whenever a leaf falls to touch the overgrown grass a new leaf would grow in its place and each day it would get bigger and bigger.As grass would over leap into the purple rocky path the path would block it out each and every time.The purple bright flowers gave the path an amazing cent in which every time a human takes a walk or jog they would smell an overwhelming smell of beautiful flowers.
Some lovely ideas Rayan – you have learnt yourself 2 HP. 🙂 I would suggest that you now have a go editing your writing, thinking particularly about punctuation (especially commas) and repetition. Once you have done this, repost your edited version. I look forward to reading it!
