Describing words

We have been talking about descriptive writing and how important it is to use specific language. In honor of Halloween, students (who are in grades 1-3) have come up with some good "spooky phrases." Again, our focus is on using our senses to create vivid images.

Spooky Phrases

-rattling skeletons
-glowing jack-o-lanterns
-howling ghosts
-a cackling witch
-a furry werewolf
-a vampire's velvet cape
