Mrs. Sargent’s Writing Plan

     One fine cold winter day I asked my overzealous students to write a descriptive paragraph. As I looked around I saw the overjoyed happy faces lighting up the room.  I saw everyone’s eager hands reaching quickly for their pencils.  A buzz permeated the room as they began to talk softly about what they wanted to write.  As they got to work the room went silent and I watched the energy pass from their heads to their hands.  I felt overjoyed by the prospects of getting exceptional paragraphs from each one of them on this cold winter day.

One Cold Winter Day

    One cold winter day I was snowboarding. It was fun that day. I saw a lot of people fall going down the huge hills. My friend and a little Japanese kid were crying because they fell. Then I heard the wind pick up speed. I also heard snowplows driving quickly down the road.  I felt the snow hit my face so I tasted it. That is what happened to me on that cold winter day.

One Winter Day

     It was a cold winter day when I was walking slowly down the frozen street. I saw two kids building a tall snowman. I saw a large patch of black ice in the center of the street. I could hear the well crafted icicles falling slowly off colorful houses and onto the ground.  I could also hear kids laughing loudly as I felt the cold air whipping quickly against my face. I could taste the moisture in the air. I really enjoyed that cold winter day.

One Winter Day

      It was a cold winter day and I was walking slowly to my backyard to play in the huge snow pile. While I was in the backyard I saw snow all over the bare brown trees, ground, and tall houses. The wind whistled past my face. I smelt fresh warm hot chocolate in my house, which my mom made special for me. I had fun on that cold winter day.

One Cold Winter’s Day

     Once on a cold winter day my sister Calista and I went outside to play.  I beat her outside, so I started to build a magnificent snow fort. Calista decided to build one too,  but mine was much bigger. I built sturdy strong walls all around it.  I carefully dug though the thick cold ice to reach the dead brown grass. Calista’s fort had two large holes to make rooms and a snow couch too.  That was the best cold winter day I had in the snow.

One Cold Winter Day

    On a cold winter day I was playing happily in the sparkling snow.  I saw sharp icicles on the flat roof and it was dripping softly to the ground, but something else caught my attention.  It was one of my silly friends on a sled bashing hard into a tree.  I heard laughter from small children as they watched.  Water consistently dripped off  the icicles softly.  Then I smelt wood burning from a nearby stoves letting out stinky smoke.  I felt happy on this cold winters day.

One Cold Winter Day

          On one really cold winter day, it was snowing so hard I could barely see through it. I called my good friend and invited him over. We went in the destroyed basement and got two sleighs and started walking anxiously up the hill. We heard big birds swooping around but couldn’t see them. I ran quickly down the hill and jumped on the sleigh as it darted downward like a cheetah trying to catch a bunny.  After an exhausting day of playing in the snow we went inside to get hot chocolate. That is what I did on this cold winter day.

One Cold Winter Day

       One cold winter day I was with my best friends. We were going to have a snowball fight. I heard the big yellow plows plowing the road as fast as deer running into the woods. I saw sharp icicles falling from the nearby houses. I felt the cold soft snow hitting my frozen face. That was a nice cold winter day.

One Cold Winter Day

    One Saturday, when it was a cold winter day, I was slowly making a huge snowman. I saw lots of different snowmen in the beautiful yards around my neighborhood and a cute baby bird flying quickly over my head. The big snowplows were coming toward me and I heard the cold wind whistling softly by. I also smelt the moisture of the wonderful crisp air and tasted the drizzling snow as it was coming down softly. I felt marvelous on this cold winter day.

One Cold Winter Day

     It was a cold winter day as I was walking slowly in the snowy, frosty woods. Along my way I saw some little, tiny rabbit tracks going toward an icy, slippery lake. Later, I heard the loud, noisy snow plow, but when it was gone, I noticed the silence all around me. I had a very nice walk that cold winter day.

One Cold Winter Day 

     It was a cold winter day so I decided to go snowboarding. It was my first snowboarding experience so I was careful. I watched my friend Cory go off a jump. Then I quickly grabbed my cool snowboards and went outside. I tried to hit the jump but I turned and went off a small drop-off. Then I saw Sean come toward us. So we all went home. On my way home I fell directly into a snow bank. Then, we all went to my house and had hot chocolate. I felt happy on that cold winter day.

One Cold Winter Day

     It was a cold wonderland winter day at the Flats Park. I saw people sleigh- riding down the steep hills and a golden retriever fall off a sleigh and planted his face in the fluffy snow. I heard the sound of kids laughing hysterically while they were having a brutal snowball fight. I could hear the gentle sound of the snow fall to the ground. The scent of the moist air blew me away. I felt weightless as the delicate wind blew in my face, that cold winter wonderland day.

One Cold Winter Day

     It was a cold winter day and I was sitting curiously just watching mindlessly the day go by. I saw many furry squirrels hiding their acorns for the winter and I heard lots of heavy footsteps of a giant American bear in its damp, hollow cave behind my house. The echoes of the cold dripping water in the hollow cave were very relaxing. That cold winter day made me feel very tired but that was one of my extremely favorite days.

One Cold Winter Day

    It was a cold winter day and I was having a snowball fight.  I saw a lively chipmunk digging furiously in the snow.  I heard the wind whistling in the trees.  A happy deer came prancing along my path. I scared it, and it ran like lightning back into the quiet forest.  It was an exciting cold winter day and loved it.

One Cold Winter Day

     It was a cold winter day and I was walking slowly in the woods. The snow was falling softly on my nose as well as the trees. The only things I could hear were the dripping of the water off the trees and the snow plows clearing the snow off the roads. Then as I came out of the woods I saw children having a snowball fight. I also saw parents helping their kids make snowman. I felt the crisp wind blowing in my face. It’s a good thing that I was warm inside. I felt wonderful on this cold winter day.

A Cold Winter Day

     It was a cold winter day and I was outside in the bitter cold riding my quad.  On this chilly day I remembered freezing.  My hands were wet and my face was covered in mud.  I was shocked by how dirty I was.  I heard the roar and saw the muddy water splashing onto my body.  I was shivering as I smelt the gas from my quad in the crisp cold air. It was an amazing cold winter day.

One Cold Winter’s Day

     It was a cold quiet winter day with lots of white fluffy snow. I saw the huge snowplow rushing by and slippery icicles hanging from the roof. Trees rustled in the wind and people were playing as they were making their colorful snowman. I smelt the wet moisture in winter’s air making me feel good on this cold winter day.

One Cold Winter Day

     It was a cold winter day and I was having a fun snowball fight with my best friend Devon. There were big snowballs everywhere! You can just hear the cold snowballs splatter on Devon and me. Sometimes I could taste the freezing snowballs when they hit my face.  Other people where making snowmen, they looked pretty cool. Suddenly, I heard a loud snowplow coming down the road. Devon and I rushed away from the street to avoid getting hurt.  Despite the quick ending, I felt really good that one cold winter day.
