Creative writing in Year 7
There is a great resource on Teachit ( I believe), written by Fran Nantongwe called “Quest for the cure”. I got a copy a while ago through a colleague at a NATE conference and love using it in Year 7.
The idea is that the class develop a novel through pieces of creative writing – all transactional and with a particular focus – persuasive, descriptive etc.
It is brilliant and Fran is a star for developing so much. I attach my PowerPoint for teaching the module, a few of the resources I use to help the students to write and 2 booklets of work from this Year’s Year 7s.

On our Weekly Writing Challenges 2017-18
I’ve written before about our Weekly Writing Challenges here which were inspired by Chris Curits (@Xris32). We love them so much that we now have year 10 doing them and we’re seeing a real improvement in the quality of our students’ written responses.

These are fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing. How do you use these in class? Do you always mark these pieces too? We’re looking at ways to reduce marking workload at the moment so looking for new ideas! Thanks again.
No we don’t mark everything students do. We regularly look at books and give feedback (see my feedback post). I think English teachers have avoided regular writing because of this very reason. Feedback is important but regular practise is key and our girls’ writing is really coming on.
In class we have 5 mins for the vocab test and then the teacher will talk through the challenge and model anything that needs modelling or show an example e.g. of anaphora. Students will then have 5 mins to plan and 25 mins to write a response. Following this there’s peer and/or self assessment before we share a couple with the class.
They are great! Thanks so much for sharing! Do you have them stick to the 200 word limit?
Hi Colin – thank you. We don’t give a word limit/target – we’d just rather they wrote something well crafted. We do set a time limit, though, of 5 minutes to plan and 25 minutes to write/proof.

Year 7 English worksheets – Jungle descriptive writing lesson plan and resources
PDF worksheets and PowerPoint
Use these Year 7 English worksheets, teacher notes and PowerPoint to help pupils get to grips with descriptive writing .
Descriptive writing is an important and enjoyable aspect of English. These free downloadable worksheets are perfect for KS3 English lessons and cover two sessions of content.
Use the descriptive text, themed around the jungle, as a prompt for descriptive writing. The accompanying resources will help students develop their own creative writing and give them the opportunity to practise:
- comprehension
- analysing writers’ methods
The resources will also expose pupils to a wide range of descriptive writing techniques. They’ll learn how to use texts as prompts for writing.
Contents of Year 7 English worksheets pack
- ‘The Jungle’ text with vocabulary definitions
- PowerPoint teaching slides
- Comprehension worksheets (questions and answers)
- Descriptive writing match-up activity sheet
- Planning sheet for writing task
In the first session pupils will read the jungle-themed descriptive writing text, before trying a descriptive writing match-up activity. This involves matching techniques and descriptions before finding examples from the text.
Next pupils can fill out the comprehension questions worksheet, using answers from the text to justify their answers.
Pupils will then annotate a section of the text, identifying writing techniques and the effects these create.
Now it’s time to think about whether or not the writer has created a vivid and exciting description of the jungle, before writing their own What How Why paragraph about it. A model answer and scaffolding is provided in the download to help.
In the final session students will recap the descriptive writing techniques you talked about last session before planning their own descriptive writing piece. They can use the included planning sheet to help them do this.
