    [The Most Perfect Snowman Lesson](https://blog.empoweringwriters.com/toolbox/january-2020-grades-2-4-lesson-month): I love, love this book, and the lesson is lots of fun!  I started off by reading aloud The Most Perfect Snowman by Chris Britt. A story of kindness that is perfect for sparking ideas for your students to throw a little kindness to each other. I modeled how to fill in the snowballs with ideas that the second graders shared with me. Then, when it was their turn, I let them borrow from my chart or add other ideas of their own.  I had them pick their favorite one and color it pink so that it stood out among all the other snowballs. 

     

     On the next day, I showed my modeled snowman and detail generating template to the students as they began filling in their details and making their own snowmen. Here is the example that I shared with the students. 

   

     Then, I modeled how to use the sentence starters plus the information from the detail generating chart and snowman to create a descriptive segment. We also did a quick word referent chart so that they would be able to use them in their writing! With these second graders, I started with one sentence starter and pulled information from my chart to make a sentence. Then, I had them do the same thing but choose their own information. We continued this way for the duration of the lesson.

Their finished descriptive segments turned out great!
