This is a week long collection of activities to teach descriptive writing using Pop Rocks candy! There are also opportunities to discuss adjectives and similes, too! It is intended to be used as a supplement to your current ELA curriculum, and would make for great writing focus lessons for Daily 5.
The lessons are adaptable for grades K-5.
Please note, you will need to purchase enough Pop Rocks candy to issue one package to each student in your class. I bought mine 3 for $1 at Kroger.

What a fun lesson for many grade levels!!! I used it K-5, and with students with special education services (speech/language). All students found enjoyment- and it reinforces using their many senses in descriptive speaking and writing! Thank you!!!

How do you get this ready for users to download? I am thinkg that you import grahics to Microsoft Word and than create your pages and then send it as one file ?? How do you do that?

I design in PowerPoint and then save the entire document as a PDF :)

Hi- I am new here!! Purchasing some of your activities and super excited to start uploading some of mine!! I have a quick question and hope you don't mind helping me out!! I teach fourth grade and have dozens of great activities that other teachers my enjoy but I worry about the images/clip art as I'm not sure about the copyright of some of those clips:). Do you have a site that you use for "safe" clip art? I really appreciate your help and great job-- your stuff is adorable!!! Thanks!

Just be sure to check the TOU for each vendor to make sure they're approved for commercial use. I like KPM Doodles and Melonheadz on Etsy and Scrappin Doodles :)

Hi, I just purchased pop rockin' descriptive wiring and trying to download it, but in most of the pages a black line appears and some of the information is missing. What could I do?

Babbling Abby (TpT Seller)
This is an easy fix, so no worries! It sounds like you're opening the document in "preview" in Adobe instead of download/saving the document. Give that a try and keep me posted if you still have issues :)

I love your fonts, where do you get your graphics from? I really want the ones you used in Rockin' Behavior. Thanks!

Kevin and Amanda, Dafont, and Lettering Delights are a great resource for fonts :) This link will take you to my post about the Rockstar font: http://theinspiredapple.blogspot.com/2011/07/rockstar-font.html.

I've downloaded the poprockin and everytime the directions don't print out only the pictures and forms. It makes the lesson unusable

This is easy to fix, so no worries! If you are a Mac user, you need Adobe Acrobat Reader X. If doing that doesn't work, try these options: - If you're a Mac user, switch browsers (i.e. if you're currently opening in Firefox, try opening in Internet Explorer or Safari) - Make sure you check Adobe under "open with" to verify that that Adobe is the program you're using to open the document and not "preview" - Try opening the document from an entirely different computer (open directly from TpT) Please let me know if any of these option help and, if they don't, you'll have to contact TpT for a refund (sellers don't handle anything money-related). Let me know if there's anything else I can do on my end to make this right! Thanks again for your purchase and have a great day!

I downloaded Learning /ari/ with Pirate Mark and the pages with directions only had black marks on them. There were also several other pages that had black marks on them. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Hmm. I was so excited about this but when I downloaded it there were multiple pages with black lines across it. Maybe I'm missing something?
