City and Wild Answer Key

In this worksheet, students write two separate place descriptions: one urban and one natural. Each prompt guides them to include details related to structures, scenery, movement, sounds, and overall atmosphere. After writing both descriptions, learners explain a major difference and one similarity between the two environments. They also list effective descriptive words or phrases they used. This activity develops students’ ability to contrast environments while practicing rich, sensory-based writing. It strengthens their understanding of descriptive structure and enhances their ability to convey clear images of both man-made and natural settings.
