Something Fast

Primary & ElementaryModerateFoundational Writing

Get ready to write about speed! Choose one incredible, super-speedy thing—like a cheetah, a bullet train, a hummingbird, or anything else that zooms—and write a few exciting sentences about it.

Don't just say it is fast; make your reader truly feel its speed. In your writing, make sure to describe:

  • The movement: What does it look like when it is rushing past? Does it become a blur or a streak?
  • The sound: What noises does it make? Is it a loud roar, a sharp whoosh, or a silent glide?
  • The feeling: How does it feel to watch or think about this amazing speed?

Use powerful, active words to bring your chosen subject to life on the page!
