Let Me Show You Nature
The writer will create a descriptive paragraph that describes an object or a place in nature. As Patricia MacLachlan does in Sarah, Plain and Tall, the writer will paint a verbal picture of an object or place in nature, using carefully chosen adjectives, especially color and texture words. Writers will then read their writings aloud to partners, and partners will attempt to draw the objects or places based on the author's carefully chosen words. This lesson focuses on word choice and sentence fluency.
