Now in a fully updated third edition, Descriptosaurus is the first
book for creative writing that is a thematic expansion of a
dictionary and a thesaurus; it provides children with a
comprehensive resource with which to expand their descriptive
vocabulary, experiment with language and sentence structure and
build up narratives based around settings, characters and
creatures. Descriptosaurus positions the word, zooms in on it to
examine the meaning, expands it into phrases, and then provides
alternatives in words, phrases and sentences; the model was created
and refined over a number of years as a result of feedback from
children inside and outside the classroom as to the resources they
required to inspire and assist them with their writing. For
reluctant writers or those faced with blank page syndrome, it
provides essential starting points to encourage putting pen to
paper, not only inspiring children, but also building their
confidence, encouraging them to use, apply and create using the
correct grammatical structures, and adding colour to their writing
through evaluation and experimentation. New features for this
updated third edition include: Sample poems Word banks and model
sentences to provide a step-by-step process for development of
vocabulary and understanding of phrase, clause and sentence
structure Contextualised grammar and punctuation instruction and
guidance Units of work where the models can be incorporated in a
creative focus A companion website containing all the features of
the book, games, planning sheets and vocabulary builders This is an
ideal resource to dramatically improve children's creative writing
for all KS2 primary and KS3 secondary English teachers, literacy
coordinators and parents. It would also make an excellent classroom
book for PGCE students, particularly Primary PGCE with English
specialism.
