Snowman Descriptive Writing Video Conference

If you didn't try the monster writing video conference, you may want to give the snowman descriptive writing video conference a try.  The students will design a snow person, animal, or thing...and then they will write a descriptive paragraph.  Encourage your kiddos to include geometry terms, such as sphere and cone to describe different parts.  Then send your writings to a partner class and swap papers.  The students draw the snow person or animal based on the descriptive paragraph.  The teachers arrange a time to video conference and share their drawings.  Your students will notice that the pictures match if they used very specific details and descriptions.
