Getting students to write detailed sentences can be tough, but these elaboration task cards make it fun! They’ll learn to stretch a sentence with descriptive words, specific details, and vivid language to spice up their writing.

⭐️ What you get with this resource:

• 40 printable ask cards

• 2 paperless options: fillable Google Slides, plus individual cards to project for students to work on one task at a time as a class.

• Instructions to students

• Sample task cards showing a boring sentence spiced up with specific details.

⭐️ Engaging for students and convenient for teachers. Help your students strengthen their sentence skills and build confidence in their writing as they use their creativity to add descriptive words to spice up those sentences! In my experience, students much prefer task cards over worksheets because they are dealing with one sentence at a time, and not overwhelmed by a larger assignment.

⭐️ Ready for any classroom routine: The convenient task card format allows for more versatility. You can control the number of tasks to present at one time. Choose one or more and use them as bell ringers, in centers, as a brain break, or any time you have a few extra minutes for a spiral review to keep the concepts fresh. This resource includes both printable and digital options.
