This hard worksheet pushes second graders to write with vivid detail. Part A asks four multiple-choice questions, including spotting the strongest describing sentence ('The big brown dog sat on the soft rug'), naming the adjective in 'The tiny bird sang a sweet song,' and matching 'the cookies smelled like cinnamon' to the sense of smell. Part B has five fill-in-the-blank items about adjectives, the five senses, descriptive sentences, and upgrading 'good cake' to 'warm, chocolatey cake.' This challenging practice trains young writers to paint pictures with words instead of writing flat, plain sentences.
