Revitalize Writing: Using Descriptive Language

Support students with word choice and the use of descriptive details.

This resource includes student-facing questions to guide the writing process, as well as a wheel of emotions to help students choose descriptive, emotionally-provoking language. 

By engaging in this exercise, students can acquire tips and techniques for their own writing. 

This resource is brought to you by the Student Press Initiative, which partners with schools and community-based organizations to raise the bar for what, how, and why students write. Since its founding in 2002, SPI has been revolutionizing education by advancing teacher leadership in reading and writing instruction, and bringing authentic student voices to life. ​
