About this resource
Rewrite six short sentences using adjectives. Picture clues accompany the sentences, and students choose their own descriptive words rather than selecting from a word bank.
Model a rewrite before independent practice, then compare how different adjectives change a sentence’s meaning. The activity is supplied as a one-page PDF.
