Add a Describing Detail

Details are how you help a reader see what you saw.

The move

A describing detail tells more about a thing — its color, size, sound, or how it feels. It turns "a dog" into "a fluffy brown dog."

Write it

Write two sentences about a thing you like. In at least one sentence, add a describing detail so the reader can picture it.
