Grandma's Descriptive Sentences

Last Sarurday I attened a cricculumn meeting for school and then, since it was close to Grandpa's, got to have supper at their place! Grandma used to teach so often we discuss school things when we are together...so over supper we were talking about some of the new coarses that are out (and I won't get to teach) and composition and creative writing came up..So here is the simple composition lesson Grandma, Dad and I came up with over supper!(Dad used to teach too just to add to this family-teacher post! And Mom too!:-) )
Ok so start with a simple sentence like" They went there." Then go through replacing the words and adding more descriptive words. We did just a word or two a time and could see the steps how are sentence changed..Today we tried it for the first time and just did it all on the white board. Not sure if we'll get far enough to do them on paper yet this year but they had fun doing a couple together like this! Now we need to learn how to make interesting and sensible sentences not either kinda as silly as we can or unrealistic! "They went there" ended up as "The happy, fat boy and the skinny, crying baby swiftly ran to the tall, old tool store." Not to bad I thought. Just people don't always have to be fat do they?! Next time want to try "He/she/they said that."
Ok have fun with your very descriptive sentences!
