Chocolate Cookie Descriptive Writing

Today we began our chocolate cookie descriptive writing project.  The first step: brainstorming.  This was the FUN step in our process for this piece as the students each got to eat part of a cookie to help in their sense assessment.  In pairs students got a cookie and completed a chart describing the cookie using their 5 senses.  As a whole class we collaborated our ideas to help us gather as much information as possible so that when we begin to draft we have lots of material to work with.
