Revise Writing Techniques

When writing your own description of eating cup cakes. Use sound words like:

Onomatopoeia (words that sound like the actual sound)

gulped it down

Alliteration (words that have the same initial sound)

soft sponge, plates piled high

Metaphors (compare a thing, people or ideas by saying it is something else)

The cafe was buzzing (Meaning the cafe was noisy with people talking.)

Similies (compare one thing to another, using like or as)

as pretty as a picture

Personification (giving human qualities to objects)

It seemed to be saying ‘don’t eat me.’ It sat before me on the plate.

Repetition

chewed and chewed

Good adjectives (describing words that go with nouns)

scrumptious cake, thick cream

Good verbs (action words)

oozed, sprinkled, licked

Good adverbs (go with verbs)

promptly, triumphantly

Can you find some examples in the book - or make up some of your own.
