This week English Teacher Online explains how to describe a mythical creature in great detail.

Your Turn
1. Take a piece of A4 paper and mentally divide it into 3, turn it landscape.
2. In the middle 3rd of the landscaped A4, draw your mythical creature in great details to include key features starting with the eyes, mouth, teeth. horns, hair, plume, antlers, ears, nose, beak, body, arms, legs, wings, fingers, toes, claws, talons, hooves etc.
3. Choose each feature in turn and add some adjectives to it.

two eyes, two red eyes, two fiery red eyes
Keep playing with the words, adding and throwing them away, reordering them etc., until you are happy.
