Describing Food - Adjectives

Describing food is a great way to practice using adjectives. In class we reviewed what adjectives are and did a few grammar exercises. Then we went over a long list of food description words from

http://www.world-food-and-wine.com/describing-food.html

I made this word list into a four page packet.

After discussing the meaning and pronunciation of the words, each student wrote 10 sentences using words that he or she had just learned from the packet. Next, each student chose 5 words and wrote a short paragraph describing the "worst meal ever." Then they did the same with 5 other words and wrote about the "best meal ever." Students shared their paragraphs in class.
