Summary
Students will write about a beautiful painting from Frederic Edwin Church.
- First, students just notice details about the painting.
- Next, they answer three questions to focus their thinking: what might be right outside of the image, what does this scene smell/sound/feel like, what might happen next?
- Now, students write a six-line poem using the structure provided in the video.
- Finally, they add a little sparkle and upgrade some of their writing.
