Sandra Cisneros is so much fun to use as a writing mentor! I have my students use her story Salvador, Late or Early to write character sketches.

You describe the shower drain as disgusting, but when you share that you haven't had to clean it since Sam went to college, I sense you also miss that disgusting drain. <br /><br />I look forward to further insights into how to describe people. <br />ErinMagical Ms. Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09594444785515534365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058349215223700929.post-52165523753509176672011-03-02T12:17:55.497-05:002011-03-02T12:17:55.497-05:00Thank you for sharing this with us.

I cant' wait to try this descriptive process with my first graders. We need a break from writing stories and this is the perfect way to practice observational writing.
