Spot the Vague or Weak

Students read a descriptive library passage and underline strong details while circling weak or vague ones. This activity trains learners to distinguish between effective imagery and general or unnecessary wording. It encourages close reading and attention to descriptive purpose, helping students identify which details contribute meaningfully to setting and which do not. The worksheet builds editing skills and prepares students to refine future writing by eliminating filler language and strengthening imagery.
