Lesson summary
Look around you – do you think you know every nook and cranny of the space you’re in? Or might you be able to see it from a new angle? The best travel writers bring a scene, a place or a person alive for us. In this activity, you’ll do that too – except you’ll be writing about a place you know very well – your own home.
