Teacher Notes (not visible to students)

This writing activity can be very simple, with students replying with a couple of words OR it can be built up into longer more detailed sentence responses for each sense. It will cater for both your highs and lows in this format. Giving your students a teacher example of the level of writing they can achieve should help you set goals. Example of highs and lows. I hear...wolves howling. I hear...the long lonely hoot of an owl in the distance I hear...the mischievous cackling of witches as they fly through the night on their brooms.
