writers. Learning how to make descriptive,
sensory word choices, using varied sentence

In Your Journal
Write a paragraph describing the animal in your
picture using as many of the Spivey sentence
types as you can.
**YOU MUST USE A NOUN + PART**
part + ing +noun
one surround the noun sentence
one re-namer
one three action
one noun + part
how, when, where, why, conditional expanders
Here’s what your paragraph should
sound like…
• Red and green, yellow and black, spotted and striped, the
gentle graceful seahorse has an interesting method of
attracting his mate. The male seahorse glides side to side,
up and down, his body (noun + Part) turning every color
of the rainbow wordlessly impressing the woman he loves
with his elegant dance (surround the noun). Expanding,
opening, and flashing his pouch (three action); he shows
her the safe, comfortable cradle her children will grow
in. Up and down they go in a waltz their tails hook and
noses touch (noun + part). Romance is not flowers and
candy, but swimming side by side using color and motion
prompting the female, his companion (re-namer) to give
her precious eggs to him. He will hold her tiny babies
until they are ready to see the world on their own.
