The engagement is in the details. Young scholars learn the benefit of weaving descriptive and sensory details into the fabric of their writing through the activities in this instructional activity. As their hands explore items concealed in bags, a partner records the descriptive words and sensory details. After a whole-class discussion, writers draft a poem, paragraph, or short narrative rich in sensory details and descriptions to share with a partner. Using the provided feedback, writers polish their work.
