How to write a descriptive essay

This PowerPoint is designed to help primary school learners (grade 4-7) with the writing process.

The aim of this product is to guide, consolidate and enhance learners descriptive writing.

In the 22 slides you will find a step-by-step guide of the complete writing process including information on the following:

It is no secret that the writing process has taken a whack this year, largely due to the lack of in-person teaching and hybrid learning. This PowerPoint was made in hopes of mending the gap in the writing process that has been created by the pandemic. It provides learners with a complete visual of how their work should be laid out and structured and there are loads of examples to help learners get a well-rounded idea of the writing process.
