It's fun to take snapshots of favorite places. Did you know that you can take snapshots with writing? Your snapshots can evoke powerful images and make your writing really come alive. All you have to do is use your "senses" and write descriptive words about those "senses."
What did I hear
What did I taste or smell?
What did I feel or touch?
Brainstorm those questions that focus on the five senses. Jot descriptive phrases down for each one.
Then you have all your impressions right in front of you. You are ready to write a colorful description.
Here are questions to keep in mind as you answer the questions. It is OK to get others to help you with this - parents, friends, teachers, and others! Good writers collaborate!
My next post will be a story that I compose just for you!
