Write a descriptive piece that begins with the sentence: ‘The last chair was still warm.’ Set your piece in a school corridor just after lunch, as it empties and then fills again. Move from one close detail to a wider view, then return to that detail at the end.
Your work will be assessed on imaginative communication and adaptation to purpose and reader (18 marks), and organisation and technical accuracy (12 marks).
