Add descriptive words to two simple sentences about a boy and a girl at the beach to make the sentences more interesting. Try out different descriptive words in each sentence. Notice how your choice of words affects the animated images in each sentence. Use your two lively sentences as the start and ending of an imaginative story. Check your word choices to see if the story could flow better. Then complete the following extension activities: describe a beach-related image; use a new set of words to create another vivid sentence; extend your story about children at the beach. This learning object is one in a series of four objects.
Objective
Students create descriptive texts using appropriate language and grammatical features to enhance vividness.
