Appreciating Descriptive Literature
Watch this video of Owl Moon. Pay attention to the vivid descriptions provided by the author.
Write about what you see. Choose one picture and use descriptive language.
or draw a picture to go with this quote from Hatchet by Gary Paulson:
“Everything was green, so green it went into him.
The forest was mostly made up of pines and spruce,
with strands of some low brush spread here and there and thick grass
and some other kind of small brush all over...
The country around the lake was moderately hilly, but the hills were small...
and there were very few rocks except to his left.
There lay a rocky ridge that stuck out overlooking the lake, about 20 feet high.”
