Autumn is the perfect time to take in everything around you and do some creative writing. These 3 activities give your learners the perfect opportunity to do those things. Designed for writers in Grade 3 and Grade 4, these worksheets provide a creative outlet for practicing writing skills. Learners will work on brainstorming topic appropriate adjectives, using several adjectives to write descriptive sentences, and using topic appropriate words to write a poem. Please note that worksheet 1 is available in colour and black & white. The two worksheets are identical.
