Writing about Snow


This week it snowed here where I live. How about you?

Whether you get five feet of snow a year or none, you probably have some feelings about snow. When you see, hear, smell, touch (and even taste) snow falling, what emotions do you feel? 

Do you love the first snowfall of the year? Why? Do you hate snow and cold? Why?

Do you wish it would snow where you live? Do you wish it would STOP snowing where you live?

Let's write about snow. We can use our five senses--taste, touch, sight, smell, and hearing--to describe it. We can remember a fun time or a sad time when snow was falling. 

Do you wait at the window for the first snowfall? Do you hope for a blizzard so you'll get a snow day from school? 

However you feel about snow, this phenomenon from the sky is pretty amazing. 

Write about this white, fuzzy stuff that for many of us spells w-i-n-t-e-r.
