Instructions
Imagine you are a writer on an adventure! Your job is to describe the world around you in a way that makes others feel like they are right there with you. Use your senses—sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste—to make your writing come alive. Let’s get started!
A. Describe Your Favorite Place
Write a paragraph about your favorite place. Be sure to include details about what you see, hear, and feel there. Don’t just tell us what it is—show us what it’s like!
B. What’s in Your Paragraph?
Look back at what you wrote and answer these questions:
1. What did you describe that shows what the place LOOKS like?
2. What did you write that tells what the place SOUNDS like?
3. How did you describe what the place FEELS like?
C. Create a Deserted Island
Imagine you’re stranded on a beautiful but deserted island. Write a paragraph describing this island. Include:
- A unique feature of the island
- How it smells
- What you might hear there
Let your imagination run wild!
