Day 228

Can You Describe This Fish?

For writing today, the students had to put their descriptive writing techniques to the test.  They were asked to give a detailed description of a given fish, like the one above.  There were five different fish used, one per table.  

After the descriptions were completed, students switched their work with a student from a different table.  Using that description, the students were asked to draw the fish.  

We compared the drawings the to pictures.  What did we learn?  We need improvements...in descriptive writing and writing neatly!
