Weak to Vivid

In this worksheet, students rewrite sentences that contain weak, vague adjectives and replace them with vivid, precise ones. Each sentence presents a basic description of a setting, and students revise it to make the writing clearer, stronger, and more interesting. This activity builds students’ understanding of word choice and its impact on imagery and tone. Learners also practice transforming plain writing into dynamic narrative description. By completing multiple revision tasks, students improve fluency in descriptive sentence construction.
