Grade 2 · Writing · Lesson 19

Describe a Magical or Faraway Place

When you write about a magical or faraway place, your job is to be a tour guide with words. You want the reader to close their eyes and feel like they are really there — even if the place is completely made up!

What this lesson teaches

1Describe a magical or faraway place using three senses — what you see, what you hear, and what you feel
2Replace vague words like nice, pretty, and cool with vivid colors, sizes, textures, and sound words
3Use place-starter phrases (The sky above was..., All around me I could hear..., The ground beneath my feet felt...) to build rich description sentences
