Teacher: Exactly. For example, saying “rainfall descends from the sky like a gentle curtain”

adds a poetic touch to the description of rain. How about we all try writing a descriptive

paragraph using these elements?

Student 12: Sounds fun! We could describe our favorite places using all these techniques.

Teacher: Wonderful idea. Let’s start writing and share our paragraphs with the group later.

Remember to include sensory details, a clear topic sentence, supporting sentences, and some

figurative language.

Student 13: I’m excited to see everyone’s descriptions!

Teacher: Me too. Let’s get started!
