This worksheet provides the opportunity for children to visualise the setting described in the book. It is a chance to focus on the language used and to consider what they know for certain but also what details they might have imagined. This can lead to discussions about what has led them to include these elements. Challenge the children to think about what they may have written had they composed the description.

We've also included a version of this worksheet on our teaching PowerPoint which can be completed as a whole class activity to save on printing.
