Prepare for the Activity
Step 1: Create the template in a slide program or drawing program, such as Google Draw.
Step 2: Find unusual or crazy, fun images for the prompt. The crazier the better so students have plenty of descriptive language from which to draw.
Instructions
Step 1: Share the protocol with students.
Step 2: Students work in pairs or individually to complete their search for appropriate words to fit each part of speech based on the image. Pairs should agree on the chosen words and take turns finding and adding.
Step 3: Students write a three-word phrase.
Step 4: Students use their found words and the three-word phrase to write a paragraph describing the image.
Step 5: Use the same template over and over on a regular basis; just insert a new image for students who have completed their 8 p*ARTS to mastery (100 percent correct).
Step 6: As momentum toward mastery is gained, transition to independent work.Description text goes here
