A good site to go to for inspiration is Select an area of interest from the top bar on the home page!

In order to talk about things, you need words that can describe your object. See if you can do the following drawing game? Draw each of the items below, spending a maximum of six seconds on each: 1) a dotted line 2) a crooked line 3) an octagon 4) a pointed chin 5) a jagged edge 6) a hollow tree 7) a rough sea 8) a steep hill 9) a bumpy road 10) a sharp bend 11) a gentle curve 12) a smooth surface 13) rolling hills 14) wavy hair 15) a meandering river 16) undulating countryside 17) a calm sea 18) an oval face

Which word is being described below? When you can do this, you are doing very well with technical vocabulary! First letter One full-lenth perpendicular line is joined at the top and at its centre point by two parallel lines, the former slightly longer than the latter, extending to the right horizontally. Second letter A symmetrical, wedge-shaped figure: two straight but oblique lines slanting down to the base from a common point at the top; these are bisected by a single horizontal line Third letter A long vertical line is connected at two points – at the top and halfway down – to a curved, semi-circular line running to the right. From the centre intersection a sloping line drops to the baseline at an angle of 45 degrees to the perpendicular, again to the right. Ask your teacher for the answer.
