How To Write A Descriptive Essay More than many other types of essays, descriptive essays strive to create a deeply involved and vivid experience for the reader. Great descriptive essays achieve this affect by using detailed observations and descriptions.When writing a descriptive essay, you often have a particular reason for writing your description. Example: Imagine that you want to write a descriptive essay about your grandfather. You've chosen to write about your grandfather's physical appearance and the way that he interacts with people. However, rather than providing a general description of these aspects, you want to convey your admiration for his strength and kindness. This is your reason for writing the descriptive essay. To achieve this, you might focus one of your paragraphs on describing the roughness of his hands, roughness resulting from the labor of his work throughout his life, but you might also describe how he would hold your hands so gently with his rough hands when having a conversation with you or when taking a walk.As you write your descriptive essay, the best way to create a vivid experience for your readers is to focus on the five senses.sightsoundsmelltouchtasteWhen you focus your descriptions on the senses, you provide vivid and specific details that show your readers rather than tell your readers what you are describing.
Planning your descriptive essay: What or who do you want to describe? What is your reason for writing your description? What are the particular qualities that you want to focus on?
Drafting your descriptive essay: What sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and textures are important for developing your description?Which details can you include to ensure that your readers gain a vivid impression imbued with your emotion or perspective?
Revising your descriptive essay: Have you provided enough details and descriptions to enable your readers to gain a complete and vivid perception? Have you left out any minor but important details? Have you used words that convey your emotion or perspective? Are there any unnecessary details in your description? Does each paragraph of your essay focus on one aspect of your description? Are you paragraphs ordered in the most affective way?(Source: Modified from http://www.writeexpress.com/descriptive-essay.html)
Further Instructions and tips: 1) Write a 350 to 550 word essay. 2) Plan first before you write, therefore I would like to see a mind map attached to every essay. As usual, marks will also be awarded for every mind map. 3) Use PAST TENSES throughout your essay. 4) Avoid ending your essay by saying, "...it was just a dream" ----This is such an anti-climax. 5) End your essay with a reflective note; explain what you have learnt from the experience. 6) Remember, this is NOT A NARRATIVE ESSAY. Therefore, the focus is on your observations and NOT STORY LINE. To be more specific, your essay should consists 70% descriptions and 30% story. 7) Any other queries, feel free to ask me.
Goodluck everyone. (:
