Description
Put your students' love of snow and snowmen to work with this Snowman Personalities winter writing project focused on developing students' vocabulary and ability to describe characters! While your students expand their vocabulary, they will have a merry time developing a snowman character and writing creative stories with this SNOWMAN PERSONALITIES writing project. This is the perfect 3rd grade, 4th grade, or 5th grade writing unit for Snowmen at Night and other winter read alouds!
Students engage in vocabulary learning synonym/antonym using the Frayer Model and other graphic organizers. After students study their adjective deeply, they write a creative story about a snowman who has that trait. Two vocabulary task card centers are also included to help students learn the new descriptive words introduced by this unit!
Want to take their creativity to the next level? Have students create a 3D snowman with styrofoam balls, modeling clay, paper plates (or simply print the snowman template I've included onto cardstock). I've included suggestions and resources for a culminating writing celebration and follow up literacy center/station activities. Just grab the hot cocoa and candy canes to turn this into a low prep winter celebration! NOTE: This resources is included in the Holiday Creative Writing Project Bundle.
