Writing Descriptively

When writing descriptively, the most important thing we can do is include adjectives. 

Adjectives help us to describe people, places and things (objects). 

Raya from the movie Raya and the Last Dragon, is a person that I really like. Lets use this video and picture to brainstorm some adjectives.



Here are some words I can use to describe her:

brave, strong, young, truthful, friendly, caring, funny, fierce

Look at the picture again. Can you see the background? What kind of place is she in?

I think it is:

dark, scary, green, rainy, wet, tropical, wild

Let's look at the picture one more time. I'm looking at a 'thing' or object now... I wonder if you can guess which one it is when I tell you my words?

It is:

delicate, soft, warm, fuzzy, pretty, red


Did you guess? 


Here are some examples of descriptions:

Warm:

My favourite Disney character is Raya. She is brave and caring. She goes on an adventure through a scary forest. Raya wears a soft, red cape. 

Hot:

My favourite Disney character is Raya from Raya and the Last Dragon. She is fierce, brave and strong. Her hair is dark brown and so are her eyes. She wears a pretty, yellow top and a soft, warm cape to keep her warm. Raya goes on many adventures, through dark, scary forests and wet, tropical storms. 

Fiery:

My favourite Disney character is Raya from Raya and the Last Dragon. She is fierce, brave and strong but also friendly, funny and caring. Her hair is long, dark and brown. She wears an enormous straw hat which protects her from the sun. Raya also wears a delicate, fuzzy cape to keep her warm. She goes on many adventures, through dark, scary forests and wet, tropical and wild storms.
