In Language Arts, we are learning about descriptive writing with a focus on adjectives (words that describe something.). I brought in a fancy gift bag and told the students I had had something special inside the bag for them but they needed to describe the bag first before we could look inside. We made a list of all adjectives we could use to describe the gift bag. Students' answers included, blue and beautiful, pretty, glittery, sparkly, fancy, pink, etc. We then used a graphic organizer to record our thoughts. After we completed this we took a look inside the bag and found POP ROCKS! The students will be using the Pop Rocks to write a descriptive piece after eating them. They are very excited to start! We will explore the 5 sense (taste, touch, sight, hearing, and smell) through this descriptive writing activity.
