English Skills, 10e English Skills with Readings, 8e Describing comes from the Latin describere, meaning “to sketch” or “to copy in writing.” Written descriptions help readers imagine what is being described.

Journal 7 Go to a place on campus where you can sit and observe. For five minutes, list everything in the scene that you can name using nouns. (The list is not part of your journal entry. Do this on a separate sheet of paper). Remember, you can name objects you see as well as impressions such as smells or sounds you experience at the place. For your journal entry, write a detailed page that describes the scene for someone who is not there with you. You could choose to write for readers who have been to the place but have not seen what you are seeing there now, or you could write for readers who have never been to this particular place to let them know what to expect when they get there. You will be sharing this journal entry in your groups when you return.
