11+ Creative Writing Service

11+ Descriptive Writing Pack

Descriptive tasks reward precision, not volume. This pack teaches restraint and specificity. Every pack is self-contained: task sheets, planning frameworks, exemplar responses and an optional marking add-on so a tutor reads the final piece and returns a banded report.

A timed creative writing practice paper and planning notes

Course outline

  1. Session 01

    What examiners want from descriptive writing

    Sensory detail, precise nouns and controlled figurative language instead of stacked adjectives.

  2. Session 02

    Model responses

    Two exemplar descriptive writing pieces, one a solid pass and one top band, annotated so the difference is visible.

  3. Session 03

    Guided practice tasks

    Four graded descriptive writing tasks with planning frameworks pupils can reuse in the exam room.

  4. Session 04

    Timed task and marking

    A final task written to exam timing, returned with line-by-line marking and a banded score.

By the end

  • Confidence with descriptive writing under exam timing
  • A reusable planning framework for this question type
  • Exemplars showing what a top-band answer looks like
  • Marked feedback on the final timed task
