This resource was designed for my own lesson while teaching Private Peaceful to year 7 in key stage 3.

The factsheet incudes information to support students in writing sensory paragraphs in English lessons.

Headings on the information sheet are:

What were the trenches like?
Sounds in the trenches
Smells in the trenches
Sights in the trenches
Feelings in the trenches

It also includes sentence starters to further scaffold the activity:

Setting the scene
Describing the environment
Emotions and thoughts
Daily life in the trenches
Hope and memories

This worksheet is ideal for supporting all students whether LPA or HPA and with additional needs or not, to create a piece of sensory writing they can be proud of.

The Private Peaceful / World War 1 factsheet can also be suitable for year 6.
