Writing Practice: Add Details to Thin Sentences
Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: Revising sentences by adding descriptive words and clear information.
1
The sentence is: The dog ran. Rewrite it with one detail about where the dog ran.
2
The sentence is: She read a book. Rewrite it with one detail about when she read.
3
The sentence is: The soup was hot. Rewrite it with one detail that shows how hot it was.
4
The sentence is: We walked to the park. Rewrite it with one detail about the weather.
5
The sentence is: The bird sang. Rewrite it with one detail about how the song sounded.
6
The sentence is: He built a tower. Rewrite it with one detail about what he used.
- Check that each added detail answers a question such as who, where, when, or how, and that the sentence still makes sense.
