Detail Expansion

Students expand a simple base sentence-“The playground was busy.”-by answering guided questions that ask them to describe what they saw, heard, felt, or noticed. They then use the answers to write a full descriptive paragraph. This activity teaches students how to elaborate on vague sentences by adding vivid details and sensory imagery. Learners practice building a complete picture for the reader through specific observations. The worksheet strengthens descriptive-writing skills and demonstrates how structured prompts can support paragraph development.
