Title: Sharing Descriptive Sentences Forum
Course: BC - English 5 - XT - 1.0.0.0 > Section: Unit 1: Course Introduction and Creative Writing

Find your two best descriptive sentences from this week’s activities. You can look in the “Show, Don’t Tell” activity or the “Describe This” activity. You can also look in the question cards for other descriptive sentences you have written. Try to find sentences that do a good job of “showing, not telling” and of using imagery.

Create a new forum post and write your two best descriptive sentences there.

After you have posted two sentences, read through at least five of your classmates’ descriptive sentences and reply to at least two posts with an encouraging comment. You only need to write one or two sentences for each reply. Use proper punctuation and capitalization.

You could tell your classmates what you experienced when you read their sentences or share an experience that their sentences reminded you of.

As you read through the posts, if you find someone who does not have any comments yet, that might be a good person to encourage.

This forum is a chance for you to connect with your classmates and encourage them in their writing.
