ACTIVITY One
Holiday Candy
What's your favourite holiday candy?
Decorate your scrapbook page with a Candy Collage.
Read the wrappers.
Find out: Price, main ingredients, description, & country of origin.
Write onto little pieces of paper.
Stick onto your collage.
Descriptive Words
Make an unique, delicious & mouthwatering description of your candy.
We need to use lots of interesting describing words called adjectives.
Adjectives give an opinion or a description.
We usually use them in this order :
1. General opinion: Lovely, excellent, traditional, cool, popular, great or famous.
2. Specific opinion: Delicious, mouthwatering, crispy, sticky, tasty or melt in your mouth.
3. Size: large, chunky, gigantic, mini, itty bitty, baby or fun size.
4. Shape: bar, chunks, slab, drop, heart, stick, long, thin or round.
5. Colour: creamy brown, shiny pink, dark chocolate, or glazed red.
6. Nationality: French, Japanese, Korean, British or Indian.
Usually, we only use 1 or 2 adjectives to describe a noun. Let's have some fun. See how many you can use! Here are some fun examples:
Fantastic, sticky, melt-in-your-mouth, ginormous, puffy-cloud-like, pink American cotton candy.
Fabulous, creamy, sweet, round scoops of green, pink & yellow Italian ice cream.
Write your description on a piece of paper.
Stick onto your Candy Collage.
Great work!
