Descriptive Writing Using the Five Senses - T&M
Bring descriptive writing to life with this bright, structured, and student-friendly resource! Perfect for upper primary learners (can be adapted to Grades 4 to 6), this sensory writing pack helps students explore and apply descriptive language through the five senses: sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch.
This three-part activity pack builds skills progressively—from word-level combinations to focused paragraph writing, and finally to an extended creative piece using a visual prompt. Students are guided to create vivid, imaginative descriptions using carefully selected sensory vocabulary.
What’s Included:
- A full-colour, word bank for each of the five senses
- Activity 1 – Combine sensory words in descriptive sentences
- Activity 2 – Write a mini-paragraph using two senses
- Activity 3 – Write a 10–12 sentence descriptive piece based on a visual image, using all five senses
- Mini Rubric (20 marks) – Clear, student-friendly assessment grid covering sensory detail, spelling and grammar, creativity, and word choice
- Thoughtful instructions, ideal for guided or independent practice
