In English, my 3rd graders learned to write paragraphs. They
learned that when they use good, descriptive words, it makes their writing come alive. Their words jump off the page. They want their audiences to be able to see their words … like a movie. They want their readers to be able to make vivid pictures in their minds. It’s more fun reading that way.

They tried this skill out with some riddles about a “Surprise Food.” They chose any food they wanted. Then they described the food using adjectives. They wrote what it looked like, what it smelled like, and what it tasted like. They told how it was cooked or where it grew. They provided as much description as they wanted, but their goal was to make me think.

They did a good job, and I was even stumped on a few. Go ahead and try it. See if you can figure out the riddles.
