Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students choose words that help a reader picture, hear, or feel what is happening. With adult help, they add these words to drawings, labels, or sentences.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student can choose words that tell how something looks, feels, sounds, or moves. With a prompt, the student can replace a general word with a more specific one.
Common Misconceptions: Children may think an interesting word must be long or hard to spell. They may add several describing words that do not match the picture or message.
How to Assess It: Show a picture of a dog running and ask, “What kind of dog is it, and how does it run?” Have students dictate or write one sentence.

Lesson moves

Place an object in a mystery bag, let students feel it, then record words describing its texture, shape, and size.
Ask, “Which sentence makes a clearer picture: The bird flew, or The tiny red bird soared?” and have students explain.
Match picture cards with fitting word cards, such as fuzzy, enormous, sparkling, creeping, and roaring.
Create a class snack menu with appealing labels such as crunchy apples, creamy yogurt, and juicy orange slices.
