Contrasting Descriptive Writing Prompts Booklet
A downloadable PDF designed to sharpen descriptive writing through contrast, tone, and atmosphere.
This resource encourages students to explore duality—light vs dark, calm vs chaos, quiet vs noise—using richly detailed prompts that stretch vocabulary and creative thinking. Each pair is carefully crafted to challenge students’ ability to shift mood, setting, and sensory detail with purpose.
Ideal for classroom starters, extension tasks, or creative writing units where tone and atmosphere matter.
◆ 10 pairs of contrasting descriptive prompts (20 total)
◆ Each prompt focuses on setting, mood, or scene description
◆ Perfect for exploring vocabulary, figurative language, and sentence variation
◆ Encourages students to write deliberately with voice and tone in mind
◆ Great practice for narrative writing and exam preparation
◆ Includes optional editing and reflection space on each page
This resource is best suited to secondary students (ages 11–16), but works flexibly across abilities. Use it as part of a writing unit, for exam warm-ups, or as an ongoing tool to help students write with precision and purpose.
Delivered as a downloadable PDF for print or digital use.
