Great way to make your student's writing more elaborative, or as I like to say "colorful". This is a PPT presentation that introduces how to color code writing and includes an example. Students are encouraged to use all of the colors in their writing to strengthen their details. My students use colored pencils to "color up" their writing as a part of their revising process.
Colors include:
Red- Talking, Hearing, Smelling
Yellow- Thinking
Green- Action
Blue- Seeing
