Lesson 13 - Descriptive Words

 Now Say That Again

Could you describe brushing your hair without using the words "hair" or "brush"? You might say you are grooming your long, shiny tresses!
Choose one of the tasks below and write a one-page description without using any of the words listed after the task. Use your powers of imagination - and a thesaurus - to help you on your way.

1. "roasting a hot dog"     roast, hot dog, fire, stick
2. "eating a piece of birthday cake"      birthday cake, fork
3. "playing fetch with a dog"      dog, run, fetch, play
4. "sailing"      boat, sail, water
5. "watching television"     watch, television, T.V., look

Given each one of the words below, write as many single, descriptive words as you can about the noun.
