Illustrators

Today in literacy we focused on a section of text that was very descriptive about another rambling isle.
"It was tall and rocky, and on its summit dark trees clustered. Among the trees stood a ruined temple, crumbly and overgrown. Around the temple towered huge stone heads with empty eyes and open mouths. They looked a bit like the famous statues on Easter Island. (In fact they were where the Easter islanders had got the ideas from, for this Rambling Isle had passed close to Easter Island, long ago.)"
After listening to the paragraph carefully a couple of times we began to draw the image that the description put in our heads. We then spent some time sharing what we had drawn with our partner, annotating sections.









We then focused on one section of the island and created a fantastic sentence for this. We used a thesaurus to improve some words.
