Descriptive Writing — Answer Key
Part A: Trace the Words
Trace each word carefully by following the dotted lines.
1. warm
2. tiny
3. sour
4. rough
5. quiet
6. fuzzy
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. The lemon tastes very sour.
Lemons have a sharp, puckery taste, and the word that describes that taste is sour.
2. The kitten is tiny and cute.
A kitten is small and cute, so tiny is the describing word that tells how little it is.
3. The rock feels rough on my hand.
Rocks are usually bumpy and scratchy to touch, so rough tells how the rock feels on your hand.
4. The library is a quiet place.
Libraries are places where people read and need very little noise, so quiet describes them best.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. The word fuzzy tells how something looks or feels.
True False
True. Fuzzy tells how something looks or feels, like a soft, hairy peach or a teddy bear.
2. The word jump describes how something tastes.
True False
False. Jump is an action word that tells what someone is doing, not a word that describes a taste.
3. Warm and cold are both describing words.
True False
True. Warm and cold both describe how something feels, so they are describing words for temperature.
