Descriptive Writing
Here are the basic steps to writing an effective
descriptive essay:
1. Select a subject
A descriptive essay paints a picture for the reader, using
descriptive devices and the senses. Create a thesis
statement that informs the reader who or what you are
describing.
2. Select dominant details
3. Organize details
Good descriptive writing is organized. Some ways to
organize descriptive writing include: chronological
(time), spatial (location), and order of importance.
When describing a person, you might begin with a
physical description, followed by how that person
thinks, feels and acts. Use prepositional phrases while
describing places.
4. Use descriptive words
Do not use vague words or generalities. Makes use of
figurative language: such as analogies, similes and
metaphors. Provide sensory details: vocabulary related
to the senses of smell, sound, taste, touch and sight.
5. Draw a logical conclusion
