In this lesson, students read the book I Was Walking Down The Road by Sarah E. Barchas and Jack Kent and study the predictable rhythm and rhyme pattern. Then, students write their own sentences to mimic those patterns.

In this lesson students learn how to paint a setting with their descriptive choice of words.

Based on Northern Nevada's 6-traits of writing, teachers can use a post-it note as a template for students to check their work throughout the writing process. Links to the 6-traits are included.
