Activities

  1. Introduction: Begin by discussing with the student what they already know about wolves. Show them pictures or read short passages about wolves to generate interest.

  3. Writing Practice: Have the student write a sentence using each descriptive word from the list. Encourage them to use their imagination and think about what they know about wolves.
  4. Paragraph Writing: Once the student has practiced using descriptive words, guide them in writing a short paragraph about wolves. Start with an introductory sentence, followed by a few descriptive sentences, and end with a concluding sentence.
  5. Illustration: After writing the paragraph, have the student draw a picture of a wolf to accompany their writing.
  6. Sharing and Discussion: Allow the student to read their paragraph aloud and share their illustration. Discuss what they have learned and encourage them to ask questions.
