To kick off our descriptive writing unit, students in fifth grade language arts got to answer the following question: Can you describe a banana well enough that your classmates can pick it out of a lineup of six other bananas? The task sounds easy but is actually quite difficult. Students had to look for identifying marks and accurately describe them, as well as their location, so that another group of students could correctly pick out the banana. Most classes were able to correctly identify one or two bananas out of six, but fifth period correctly identified five! Way to go!
