What educators are saying
This resource was perfect for an introductory "mini lesson" on sensory details. It just so happened to be Halloween on the day I needed it! After completing this activity, my students went back to their own narratives and found places to insert sensory details.
My students loved this because it was so engaging. Students were able to understand the directions and learn the targeted objectives.
Description
Want your students to enjoy Halloween-themed creative writing while still practicing their narrative skills?
Let them try out this hilarious partner activity, sensory details stories similar to Mad-libs™, but with a literary twist.
From the reviews:
- “This was a fun warm-up activity for narrative writing--it really got them thinking about unique nouns, adjectives, etc.!”
- “Fun way to review grammar concepts!”
- “My students loved this because it was so engaging. Students were able to understand the directions and learn the targeted objectives. ”
What's inside:
- A quick review slide of sensory details that you can project during the activity
- a prompt sheet
- a Halloween-themed haunted house story for students to complete with the sensory detail prompts (not scary)
Check out the video preview for a look at each handout.
