Theme-Aligned Description

This worksheet helps students in Grades 5, 6, and 7 develop intentional descriptive writing by crafting a paragraph that clearly supports a central theme. By choosing a theme such as resilience, isolation, transformation, or hope, students plan and select setting details, objects, and sensory imagery that symbolically reinforce their message. Guided prompts support thoughtful planning before students write a cohesive, theme-driven paragraph.
