Step 1: Identify and Highlight Adjectives in the Story

The original story is:

> "Peter's pale skin burnt in the scorching sun. Being lost in the blazing desert was a nightmare. If only he'd listened to his mother who was so wise. Instead, he chose to travel alone and was now in trouble. His throat was dry and his mind was beginning to wonder..."

Let’s find the adjectives — words that describe nouns (e.g., appearance, size, emotion, etc.).

Adjectives in the story:
- pale (describes "skin")
- scorching (describes "sun")
- blazing (describes "desert")
- wise (describes "mother")
- dry (describes "throat")

> ✔ These are all descriptive words modifying nouns.

So, the highlighted adjectives would be:
> pale, scorching, blazing, wise, dry

Step 2: Complete the Story

Now, we need to continue the story using our own writing, and include more adjectives.

Here’s a possible continuation:

> He looked around at the endless, golden dunes stretching into the distance. The sky was a deep, cloudless blue, and the wind carried a faint, dusty scent. Peter felt weak, his legs trembling with each step. He remembered his mother’s voice—calm, kind, and full of wisdom—and wished he had followed her advice. But now, with no water and no sign of help, he had to rely on his courage and quick thinking. As the sun dipped lower, casting long, dark shadows, he spotted something strange—a shimmering, silver object half-buried in the sand.

Step 3: Highlight Your Own Adjectives

In the continuation above, here are the adjectives I used:

- endless (dunes)
- golden (dunes)
- deep (sky)
- cloudless (blue sky)
- faint (scent)
- dusty (scent)
- weak (felt)
- trembling (legs)
- calm (voice)
- kind (voice)
- full (of wisdom)
- dark (shadows)
- strange (object)
- shimmering (object)
- silver (object)

✔ These are all adjectives describing the scene, emotions, and objects.

💡 Tip for Students:
When writing, always think: *How does it look? How does it feel? What color is it? How big or small?* These questions help you add rich adjectives!
