Try It: Powerful Descriptions
That’s amazing!
Imagine you’ve just seen an astonishing sight like a dolphin flying through the air.
- How would your body react? Try it!
- How would you express that physical reaction in words?
Powerful Descriptions
Today’s Try It prompt is from Week Four of Just Beyond the Very, Very Far North Dart. Duane the polar bear and his friends are astonished at the actions of their friend Handsome!
Eyes widened as mouths and beaks fell open all at the same time.
(Oh, my! I could not believe what Handsome did either! I gasped!)
Choose another emotion to experiment with—keep it light and get bodies moving.
- Ask: How does your body react if something makes you angry or delighted or scared?
- Act out the feeling, noticing what your body does.
- Find words that capture that physical response. (Write them on a whiteboard—then play with them.)
