Sentence Starters

In this worksheet, students complete sentence starters by adding a sensory detail that matches the sense indicated in each prompt. They must think of descriptive phrases that appeal to sight, sound, smell, taste, or touch depending on the context given, such as a campfire or a garden. This activity helps students practice generating focused sensory descriptions that enhance simple sentences. It also reinforces the link between setting and sensory experience, supporting stronger narrative and descriptive writing.
