Descriptive Language

On Thursday we got to watch a 1minute snippet of a scene from Finding Nemo on YouTube. We paused the video to look at different features of Bruce (shark) and Marlin (clown fish). We made a huge of list of describing words (adjectives) about them. Then we talked about how they moved (verbs). Here are some of our descriptive stories...
