Fall Picture



As I was hiking through the woods, I was kept company by the sounds of the leaves crunching under my boots. The cool mountain air wrapped around me, making me glad I'd remembered to wear a sweater. Brightly colored leaves danced in the sunlight as the breeze moved through the branches of the trees. My mind was filled with the sounds, smells, and textures of nature. It was a beautiful fall day, and I was glad to be outside where I could enjoy it.




Now it is your turn to write a descriptive paragraph about the picture. Your paragraph can be imaginative and written as a story, or informational. Whichever genre you choose, make sure you check for complete sentences, correct capitalization, punctuation, spelling, subject-verb agreement, and dscriptive language.
