Describing Myself

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a creative writing prompt for first graders that asks students to describe their personality by comparing themselves to a dessert. The exercise requires them to draw parallels between their characteristics and the qualities of a dessert, such as sweet, layered, or colorful. Blank lines are provided for students to write their responses, and an accompanying illustration depicts a child with a dessert, which serves to visually stimulate the child’s imagination.

The objective of this worksheet is to enhance students’ descriptive writing skills and to encourage them to think metaphorically. It teaches them to make connections between different concepts, in this case, linking the attributes of a dessert to aspects of their own personality. This comparison also prompts self-reflection, as students must consider and articulate what makes them unique. Additionally, the task helps to expand their vocabulary as they search for the right words to describe both themselves and the dessert they choose as a metaphor.
