Today we continued our focus on creative and descriptive writing by using the natural environment for some inspiration. Students worked with pen and paper as well as cameras to capture some highlights from the beautiful landscape along the trails above Wiltse.
Today we worked on improving our vocabulary, particularly in regards to adjectives and adverbs. To provide inspiration for descriptive adjectives students sampled a variety of "strongly flavoured" foods including wasabi and Marmite. Inspiration for powerful verbs and adverbs came from a few quick demonstrations of activities from the Inuit/Arctic games including the "back push", "airplane" and the classic "tug-of-war". Using thesauruses, students added to their vocabularies and created detailed descriptions of the activities.
