Description
These 32 Description Task Cards are perfect for your text structure lessons!
This resource includes 32 task cards for practicing the description text structure. Cards 1-16 describe relatable, fictional situations. Cards 17-32 are descriptive informational text.
Each card features two questions.
- The first asks students to identify what is being described.
- The second asks students to support their answer with three descriptive or supporting details.
- On a few cards, students are asked to identify sensory details or figurative language.
While students can give written responses (answer sheets are included), these cards would also work well for group discussion or as an activity for partners, especially in the beginning. If students are completing the cards as an Easel Activity, they can highlight the supporting details rather than typing them out.
There is also Challenge Cards that can be used with any other card in the set.
What’s Included:
- 32 Printable Task Cards (color or black/white)
- Google Slides Digital Version (optional audio support)
- TpT *Easel Activity (only available if you purchase on TPT) Digital Version (optional audio support)
- Student Reference Poster / Anchor Chart
