Oreo Writing Activity

In Writer's Workshop, we are learning how to add details to our Narrative Writing. We started off with a fun activity to get our juices flowing :). Students used their five senses to come up with details about an Oreo cookie. They had to imagine that they were writing to someone who has never seen or tasted an Oreo before.   Yummy!!! 

The Oreo:  By Bonny B

An oreo is delicous, creamy, sweet, all in one bite.  It's hard on the outside, and creamy on the inside.  The cream is like heaven, nice and cool.  As you crunch it's cookie, there's a cracking in your head.  It's a sandwich built of chocolate and thick cream. As you put it near your mouth, your nose fills with sweet, sugary, chocolateness.  It attracts you by just looking at the pattern on the top.  You feel like your going to faint as the smooth, tender frosting goes down your throat.  That is an oreo.  

The Oreo:  by Jair

I see a really dark brown oreo with white frosting and a round chocolate cookie.  They look sugary and sweet.  It smells like chocolate and it smells sweet.  It feels flat, bumpy, and smooth on the side.  I take a bit, close my eyes, and it sounds like rocks breaking.  

The Oreo:  by Tabitha

You can see the rich chocolate and the chocolate is brown and the white cream looks like pudding.  It smells like chocolate and smells sweet.  It sounds crunchy and it sounds like a cracker when you chew it.  It feels bumpy and rough and it feels smooth on the side.  It tastes creamy and sweet and very chocolately.
