Before Writing? 

Think about what you want to tell: 

• Use the 5 w's.
• Use the 5 w's to fill in the word web
• Use adjectives and adverbs to desribe people, feelings and experiences  (eg. She looked terribly sad - he was completely exhaused).  

Before writing I need some extra information on:

1. grammar to describe people, experiences and events
2. words to describe people, experiences and events
3. inspiration for random acts of kindness
4. grammar for describing events in the past tense
