Descriptosaurus: Myths & Legends

by Alison Wilcox

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.

This book has been an amazing resource for my Year 4 placement class in writing their own Greek myths/Greek-inspired fiction narratives. Teachers would also really benefit from seeing its frameworks for planning characters, settings and plots. Highly recommended!
