Have you used this resource?

I couldn’t use this resource as I teach pupils with additional support needs and I didn’t feel comfortable with the ‘blind as a bat’ slide, found it inappropriate for the classroom to be honest. Otherwise a good resource, suppose could be edited.

A good fun resource that can lead into a more in-depth analysis of descriptive writing

Hi,
I can see that being already a free member of your site who has very limited access to your resources make me think why I am here...

Good icebreaker to introduce a lesson on writing your own descriptive metaphors and similes

Nice, on the simplistic and cliched side though.
