This Grade 4 worksheet on Descriptive Writing (Narrative Writing) helps students bring their stories to life using vivid words and detailed descriptions. Based on the engaging story “The Colorful Classroom,” learners explore how descriptive language makes writing more lively, clear, and interesting.
Through activities like spotting descriptive words, writing detailed sentences from pictures, multiple choice questions, fill-in-the-blanks, and paragraph writing, students practise using adjectives and sensory language effectively.
