Close reading techniques: descriptive writing extracts
Students analyse a range of short excerpts from popular fiction texts in this versatile resource. Would work well for introducing the study of unseen fiction extracts.
The activities explore pairs of comparative extracts which focus on:
- the use of pronouns in presenting people
- settings
- characters.

Thank you for sharing. I especially like the Of Mice and Men task which will help develop descriptive writing skills as well as analysis of writer's style.
