List 12 nouns that you are thankful for. Remember that a noun is a PERSON, PLACE, or THING.
"Things" can be either abstract or concrete. For example love is an abstract noun because it cannot be
touched. A chair is a concrete noun because it is something that can be touched. You may choose either
concrete or abstract nouns for this activity.

Great! Now that you have listed the things that you are thankful for, it is now time to add some detail.
The easiest way to do this is to add some adjectives to your nouns. Adjectives are words that describe the noun. Adjectives
come before the noun. Example: the tall, greeen grass

Sentences sometimes can become vivid if we tell to what extent or how something is done. We call these descriptors adverbs.
dverbs usually end in "ly" but certainly do not have to. You can create an adverb by adding "ly" to an adjective.
Example: the tall, green grass slowly

Sentences must also contain a verb. Verbs show action or in some cases show state of being. Walking and jumping are actio
verbs, while is and are are "being" verbs. They don't show necessarily show action.
For example: the tall, green grass slowly mowed
