Task 1: Picture Writing

     For this assignment you are to "tell" a picture. Pretend you are looking through a window (car or otherwise) or that you are looking at a beautiful painting or photograph.  You could, of course, even be describing a view through a microscope, telescope, periscope, porthole, etc.  You are to use all your skills of description to make the listeners of your "picture story" see the same picture as you do.

     Try making use of the listener's senses, such as touch, hearing, sight, smell and even taste to make the picture come more to life for them. Imagine all the things you could describe at the beach, at a barbecue, or dropping in a parachute!  Have you ever thought about what it may really look like

on the moon?  What would you see, feel, hear, smell, experience?

     When you are finished, you are to draw your picture in full color on the back of the page. This picture story may be read to others to see if they can draw your same picture by listening to how you describe it.  Write carefully.  Use lots of adjectives.
