0/8Fun Facts
The phrase “A picture is worth a thousand words” is very famous! But in Grade 3, we only need 5-6 good sentences to describe one picture clearly.
Professional writers use a technique called “show, don’t tell”. Instead of “It was nice”, they write “The golden sun shone on the sparkling blue waves.” That is what picture composition teaches you!
