DESCRIPTIVE ESSAY
Definition of Descriptive Essay

A descriptive essay, as the name implies, is a form of essay that describes something. In this genre,
students are assigned the task of describing objects, things, places, experiences, persons, and situations.
The students use sensory information to enable readers to use their five senses of touch, taste, smell,
hearing, and sight to understand the topic of the essay.

An introductory paragraph, as the opening of a conventional essay, composition, or report, is

designed to grab people's attention. It informs readers about the topic and why they should care
about it, but also adds enough intrigue to get them to continue to read. In short, the opening
paragraph is your chance to make a great first impression.

WRITING A GOOD INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH

The primary purpose of an introductory paragraph is to pique the interest of your reader and
identify the topic and purpose of the essay. It often ends with a thesis statement.

Thesis Statements: The Roadmap to Your Paper

WHAT IS A THESIS STATEMENT?

A thesis statement is one or two sentences in YOUR INTRODUCTION PARAGRAPH that explains
the core idea of your paper. The thesis is the foundation of the paper and should act as a roadmap
for your paper. It should not only be a guide for the reader, but for the writer as well.

When writing your thesis, think about how you want to get your point across to the reader. State
your claim and make sure it is arguable. Knowing what you’re going to argue helps you take you in
the right direction and stay on track.

A thesis is usually LOCATED NEAR THE END OF THE INTRODUCTION, often the last sentence
of the introduction. This provides a smooth transition into the body of the paper.
