Descriptive Writing Lesson: Pumpkin Draw!

 The "Budding Authors and Artists" learned how important it is to use adjetives in their writing!  This game involved them creating a jack-o-lantern with some art supplies, and then filling in an "Adjective Help Sheet," where they filled in the blank for adjectives telling size, shape, color, and number of nouns like "eyes," "nose," "mouth," "teeth," and more.  They then used this to create sentences describing their pumpkin.  The next meeting, I hung their art up and read their descriptions.  Pumpkins that were guessed on the first try were winners, because that meant the writers wrote vivid, clear sentences with enough adjectives to make guessing easy!

Enjoy these awesome creations!
