Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This descriptive writing guide, aimed at 11-12 year olds (Key Stage 2 / 11+ practice), is designed to equip young writers with the tools and confidence to create vivid and impactful prose. The book acts as a "shovel and map" for a "treasure hunt" into their imaginations, helping them uncover "hidden connections" and arrange their "gems into something coherent and delightful".It goes beyond simply getting good grades, focusing on writing as a "superpower" for communicating brilliant ideas, sharing unique perspectives, and connecting with others. The guide provides a structured approach, akin to using "stabilisers" when learning to ride a bike, offering "stock phrases that can be adapted to fit any given stimulus".The book delves into a range of literary techniques, including similes, hyperbole, alliteration, metaphor, personification, onomatopoeia, sibilance, oxymoron, assonance, and pathetic fallacy, all easily remembered through the "SHAMPOO and SOAP" mnemonic. It also teaches various sentence openers (using -ed, -ing, or -ly words, adverbials, similes, and subordinate clauses with I SAW A WABUB conjunctions) to help writers avoid "stunted and stale" prose and add "precision and flair".To further enhance writing, the book includes a reminder of coordinating and subordinating conjunctions (FANBOYS and I SAW A WABUB) and quick guides to advanced punctuation like semicolons, colons, commas, dashes, and brackets. It emphasises experimentation and viewing "mistakes" as "learning opportunities dressed in funny hats". The examples provided, including a detailed breakdown of a descriptive passage, showcase how to apply these techniques in practice. The book is designed to be a "friendly guide, your encouraging cheer-squad" for young writers on their literary adventures. This item is printed on demand.
