For literacy we were writing a description about a book called Where the Wild Things are by Maurice Sendak. Miss Percy gave us several wild things to choose. Once we picked one we write a description about it. Our goal was to use descriptive nouns and verbs (interesting vocabulary) and to vary my sentence beginners.
Here is my writing
As the wild things swing through the treetops they stare with their devil eyes. My wild thing has horns like a devil. His hair is like moss sagging down. He has lobster like claws. His brutal nails are really harsh. His nostrils are as dark as a ghoulish cave. His body is as big as a boulder and can camouflage in a gloomy environment. As you stare into this mysterious creature it is like a bowling ball trying to squash you. The wild things gaze at you with an alarming look.
This was drawn by Maurice Sendak. |
