Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher

A sensory detail tells what you see, hear, smell, taste or feel, and it is the building block of a describing poem. These poem writing worksheets for 2nd grade hold 10 sheets. On nine, children read a short model poem by a made-up student, such as A Day at the Beach or Red, list words or sense details, then finish six lines that start with I see, Blue sounds like or It feels and end with the topic. Topics are fall, spring in a city park, the colors blue and green, popcorn, pancakes, a rocket, a kitten and a frog. The tenth sheet sorts nine bold words from a poem about a fair into See, Hear and Feel and has an answer key. The pages support L.2.5.A (connecting words to real life, like describing foods as crunchy or sweet).
