I call adjectives "juicy words" (a great tie in with the fruit). I brought peaches to school and had the students touch, taste and smell them blindfolded. They then had to use as many vivid "juicy" words to describe the peach. We talked about the need for detail in order to help a reader make a mind picture. I then read descriptions of the Aunts and had each student draw what they saw. We went back and reread the section off of a transparency and highlighted all the adjectives. Students then check to be sure they included something in their drawing that would help the reader include the adjective in their visualization.
