Concepts Taught: Using the five senses to help describe

The students will create a vivid description of their dream resort. The students will use as much of the five senses as possible. The students will describe what could be seen at their dream resort, what could be heard, what could be tasted, and what could be touched or felt. The students will create a brochure-like description and share it with the class. The grade will come from how descriptive it is.
