Ben&Me+Writing+Activity

Writing Activity:

Look at the two-page illustration that shows "A scene of the wildest confusion," at the Court of Versailles. Write a description of what is happening in the illustration. Make your description as interesting as possible by using **vivid adjectives and unusual verbs.**

See if you can create a wonderful image with words the way Robert Lawson did when he wrote, "Ben fairly dripped mice!"

Be sure to check your work using **"Requirements of Fifth-Grade Writing"** before you publish your writing.
