Description
"I have something in my pocket." That's a magnificent conversation starter, as people want to know what that thing is. They want details, specifics, answers.
The secret is the indefinite pronoun: something. And I have made a nice little chart to show them all. Just choose one and put it into the Level 1, then move to one or more Level 2s to describe the object using beautiful, powerful noun phrases.
When students hear that they can be rewarded for being vague, they get all excited. The exercises at the end of the previous lesson showed how to put all the pieces together, and serve as templates for your students. They did not, however, focus on indefinite pronouns, but together, they could offer new techniques that are waiting to become trademarks of their good writing.
