Mini Lesson
Every season has its own look, feel, and magic. When you write about a season, you want the reader to feel the cold wind, see the golden leaves, or hear the summer rain. Vivid words make seasons come alive on the page!
The Three-Part Season Frame
- Name the season: "In autumn..." / "When winter comes..."
- What it looks like: describe the colors, weather, and nature changes.
- I love...: say something specific you love about this season.
- Each part becomes one or two sentences.
Vivid Season Words
- Spring: blossoming, fresh, damp, budding, mild, crisp
- Summer: blazing, golden, humid, dazzling, endless, scorching
- Autumn: crimson, amber, crisp, swirling, fading, rustling
- Winter: frozen, silent, glittering, bare, icy, hushed
Writing About Weather Changes
- Describe what changes between seasons — not just that it gets warmer or colder.
- What happens to the trees? The sky? The animals? The ground?
- Example: "As autumn arrives, the leaves turn crimson and amber and spiral down to the ground like tiny kites."
- One specific image is worth more than three vague statements.
💡
Ask yourself: "Which season do I love most? What does it look like — colors, sky, plants, ground? What one thing about it makes me smile?"
