Week 29
My Favorite Outfit
Contributed by Therese Durham
For English this week you are to
think of several outfits that you enjoy wearing. Think about the top, bottom,
and any special accessories (shoes jewelry, hat etc) that you like to wear
with it. Write 3 possible combinations on the lines below.
1_____________________________________________________________
2_____________________________________________________________
3_____________________________________________________________
Now choose one of the outfits to
describe in great detail. Include specific color words such as chocolate
brown, ermine white, slate gray, and orange tangerine. Include at least
one (but not more than 3) similes. For example :
The gold button is as shiny as a lighthouse beacon.
Remember, you are not explaining why
it is your favorite, but you are focusing on DESCRIBING it so that any one who
hears your description could draw a picture of it.
Check:
1. Topic sentence
2. At least 3 supporting details
3. Exact color words
4. At least 1 simile
5. Conclusion
