Literary & Descriptive Techniques: Mastering figurative language (similes, metaphors, personification, onomatopoeia) and the “show, don’t tell” method to evoke sensory details and emotion.
Character & Setting Creation: Developing vivid environments and believable characters with minimal plot complexity.
Non-Fiction & Persuasive Styles: Covering diary entries, recounts, instructions, and balanced arguments alongside fiction.
SPaG & Style: Reinforcing spelling, punctuation, grammar, diverse sentence structures, dialogue punctuation, and high-level vocabulary.
