To be
TERRIFIC, youve got to be
SPECIFIC!
-
To be SPECIFIC, use your 5 senses to help you describe!
What does it LOOK like?
What does it SOUND like?
What does it FEEL like?
What does it SMELL like?
What does it TASTE like?
-
What if you were taking a
morning hike in the forest?
-
I spotted an
ancient, massive
redwood tree.
I caught sight of
a sleek red fox
digging a
burrow.
-
I heard the loud
cry of a red-
tailed hawk.
I listened peacefully
to a babbling brook.
-
I could feel a gentle
breeze blowing
across my cheek.
I poked at the
squishy moss along
the rocky trail.
-
I could smell
the crisp pine
mountain air.
I sniffed the sweet
aroma of a pink
foxglove flower.
-
I sipped cold, crisp,
refreshing water
from a mountain
stream.
I unwisely
devoured handful
of poisonous
berries!
