Descriptosaurus: Myths & Legends Summary

Descriptosaurus: Myths & Legends: Myths & Legends by Alison Wilcox (School writer and researcher, UK)

Descriptosaurus: Myths & Legends builds on the vocabulary and descriptive phrases introduced in the original bestselling Descriptosaurus and, within the context of myths and legends, develops the structure and use of the words and phrases to promote colourful cinematic writing. This essential guide will enable children to take their writing to the next level, combine their descriptions of setting and character and show how the two interact. Children can then experiment with heroes, gods and supernatural beings to create a legendary story.

This new system also provides a contextualised alternative to grammar textbooks and will assist children in acquiring, understanding and applying the grammar they will need to improve their writing, both creative and technical.

Descriptosaurus: Myths & Legends Reviews

This is an excellent series which really has the potential to revolutionise the teaching of descriptive writing - an area with which many pupils struggle. - Sarah Brew, Parents in Touch
