Skills Week – Halloween Writing explanations. Skills Week You need to know the difference between describe and explain. Descriptions state what can be observed. What is it like/What is is? Explanations offer reasons or more depth. Why is it like this/Why is this? If you struggle to explain, use the word ‘because’.

Skills Week – Halloween Skills Week Let’s try to turn our descriptions into explanations: Explain why some places are seen as ‘spooky’. Gnarled trees give a sense of ‘death’ being present because the tree is lifeless. Large houses have a lot of empty space, which can be intimidating. Gothic architecture has often been associated with horror.

Gravestones are scary because they show that there are dead bodies beneath the ground.
