Word Choice

Writers think of the very best words to describe things! Read this poem about an apple.

Apple
Round, shiny
Bumpy, sweet
Delicious, crunchy
Smooth
Apple

Brainstorm a list of nouns that are “things” (e.g., apple, table, car, grass, tree).

Choose one of your “things”. Think of as many words as you can to describe it. You might want to create a chart to help you.

Choose the best words! Write a poem about your “thing”. You can also illustrate your poem if you. Share it with someone. Don’t tell them the title…can they guess what your “thing” is?
