Your homework this week is to complete the descriptive paragraph you started in school (based on the nature photo you chose). These will be due on Friday, April 5th.
If you'd like a little extra work on writing descriptively (or if you simply enjoy doing it!), you may choose to write another descriptive paragraph based on the photos below or on another scene if you'd like. *You will also receive extra credit scholar dollars!* Be sure to include: 1.) All five senses (see, hear, taste, smell, touch) 2.) Examples of figurative language (similes, metaphors, onomatopoeia, alliteration, hyperbole, etc.) Example: It was a wonderful day at the beach. White clouds floated like marshmallows through the light blue sky. My friend Sam and I relaxed on a rainbow striped beach towel under an enveloping orange umbrella. A seal popped his head up among the glistening waves as a tiny crab scurried along the sand like lightning. Two starfish lie happily basking in the sun. Near us, a seagull remained perched like a statue on a midnight black rock. Two red balloons danced in the sky looking down on young children creating memories. We didn’t want the day to end.

The glistening reflection covers the deep, fishy water. It is as clear as a bedroom window. I hear the fish bubbles rise from the deep, sandy lake. The bright tangerine sun protects the lake from getting too cold. The splintery dark brown boardwalk awaits you. As I dip my little toes into the freezing lake water, my feet curl up like snails. I see the hills looking up at the thick clouds before they say goodnight to the sunlight.

Palm trees leaned over as waves crashed and beached sand curled up into my toes. A beachy, windy breeze blew on me like a summer day. The sky was a pastel blue. I smelled the salty beach water as I dove in like a fish. When I dove under water a salty taste filled my mouth As I looked down at glistening shells that were so shiny I could see my reflection.I heard perky birds chirping as the sound of waves rustling filled my ears. I was finally in paradise at the beach.

The sunset was reflecting on the cool black lake. I could hear the birds chirping every second! I could taste the water crash into my mouthwhen a bird or person jumped in. I could smell the beautiful pink flowers on the oranges green mountain tops. I touched the flamin hot dock. I immediately screamed “ouch my hand is on fire!” So, I stuck it the in the icy cold black deep water!

The mustard sand burned under my feet as the electric blue waves splashed like it was sending me a message. The sun smiled and waved at me, its rays shot out color screaming to me. My velvet beach towel stretched across the little grains as it curled up into my toes. The palm trees danced in the wind. The salty smell burst into the air! A dolphin was playing joyfully in the salty sapphire water. The pelicans stood perched on a rock like a statue. The sky had marshmallow clouds it looked they were hosting a show for me! I never wanted this day to end.
