Key concepts students will learn:

  • Effective descriptive writing involves 'showing' rather than 'telling', allowing the reader to build a strong image.

  • To enhance descriptive writing, pay attention to details, use vivid verbs and precise adjectives, and include multiple senses.

  • Descriptive writing should be organized chronologically, by order of importance, or spatially to create a clear and coherent picture for the reader.
