Description

It can be difficult to get students to write descriptive sentences, but these task cards can help spice up their writing! They will stretch a sentence by starting with one that is short and simple and adding descriptive words and specific details to make it more interesting and more precise. Also very helpful for ESL Students! For even more fun activities to spice up writing, try this Descriptive Writing Activity Bundle.

⭐️ What you get with this resource:

  • 40 printable ask cards

  • 2 paperless options: fillable Google Slides, plus individual cards to project for students to work on one task at a time as a class.

  • Instructions to students

  • Sample task cards showing a boring sentence spiced up with specific details.

⭐️ Engaging for students and convenient for teachers. Help your students strengthen their sentence skills and build confidence in their writing as they use their creativity to add descriptive words to spice up those sentences! In my experience, students much prefer task cards over worksheets because they are dealing with one sentence at a time, and not overwhelmed by a larger assignment.

The convenient task card format allows for more versatility. You can control the number of tasks to present at one time. Choose one or more and use them as bell ringers, in centers, as a brain break, or any time you have a few extra minutes for a spiral review to keep the concepts fresh. This resource includes both printable and digital options.
