Adding Details and Emotional Color to Writing Rubric

Beginning writers often leave out details that add color, emotion, and sensory elements to stories, poems, and nonfiction text. Likewise, beginning actors often create characters with little detail of gesture, facial expression, and movement. This integrated lesson is geared toward writers and actors of all ages who are excited about painting pictures with their words and physical choices. You will see improvement starting with the first introduction of this lesson. Use this lesson over and over again; it is always different because the students are the creators.
