Mason Corey, Kylie Bechard, Patricia Addis, and Montaeo Bailey Description Mason Corey, Kylie Bechard, Patricia Addis, and Montaeo Bailey

What is Description? Description is used to tell readers about the physical characteristic about a person, place, or thing. Description relies on the 5 senses: touch, sight, hearing, smell, and taste. Description is probably one of the easier modes to use.

What to include in description and why: When writing a descriptive essay you should include: The 5 senses Figurative language (similes, metaphors, personification) Lots of descriptive adjectives/creative language Imagery Facts that are descriptive

How to organize Description? There is no specific way to organize a descriptive essay unless you are documenting a person, place, or thing which in that case it would be chronological (we have examples if you don’t understand)
