Sample Images of this Item
This activity is designed to get students thinking about including more description in writing, from personal narratives to short stories. The activity forces students to include a description in every third sentence while also dealing with dialogue and action. The students will follow a pattern: the first sentence must be either action or dialogue; the next sentence must be action, dialogue, or description; and the next sentence must be description. The pattern then repeats. Examples of each type of sentence are provided as well as a sample beginning.
