Whether it's blowing a gale, raining or bright sunshine this is the perfect lesson to encourage descriptive writing through the use of figurative language. The weather is such a powerful learning tool that can spark worlds of imagination. For this activity you will take the students outside in a variety of different conditions and allow them to use their senses to come up with similes, metaphors, and alliteration to describe the conditions. This is a great activity to do before writing a story when thinking about setting descriptions.
