This worksheet prompts students to "show not tell" and can be the starting point before doing other descriptive writing lessons. It can be used along with my other product for Descriptive Writing. It is good for students of many grade levels and some beautiful sentences can emerge. The boxes can be used to illustrate their sentences. The students rewrite each sentence to make it more descriptive (remind them to use adjectives).

I have had teaching experience in Los Angeles County and in Orange County, CA. I also have cooperating teaching experience in Santa Barbara and the American Embassy International School in India. I have taught Grades K, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7 as well as having pre-professional student teaching experience with Grades 1 and 4. As many other teachers discover, I rapidly realized that I needed to create supplemental curriculum that would meet the needs of ALL my students -- I have taught in a general education setting with students that have been identified as Gifted, English Language Learners, Autistic, as well as students who are various types of learners (mostly visual and kinesthetic).
