Lesson 2

Description
 Learn about It!

A description provides information on what a person,

an object, a place, or a situation is like. It appeals to
the reader’s senses, allowing him or her to see, hear,
taste, smell, or feel the subject.
Learn about It!

Love at First Sight

 Learn about It!

Guidelines in Descriptive Writing

1.Include vivid sensory details. Include descriptions
that appeal to the readers’ senses of sight, hearing,
touch, taste, and smell.

Example:
● When she walked past me, her lavender-scented
perfume tantalized my nose, as if it will bleed
anytime soon.
 Learn about It!

2.Use figurative language. Include descriptions that

appeal to the reader's senses of sight, hearing, touch,
taste, and smell.

Example:
● In fact, she was like an enchantress who
enchanted my heart and soul.
 Learn about It!

3.Use precise language. Include descriptions that

appeal to the reader's senses of sight, hearing, touch,
taste, and smell.

Examples:
● Incorrect: The first thing that really caught my
attention as she entered the door was her amazing
hair.
● Correct: The first thing that really caught my
 Learn about It!

4.Organize the description. Include descriptions that

appeal to the reader's senses of sight, hearing, touch,
taste, and smell.
 Learn about It!

5.Write an introduction that grabs attention.

Example:
● People say that “love at first sight” is not real
but it seems time has played me once more when I
saw this beautiful lady at a local salon yesterday.
The word beautiful does not even do justice to the
beauty that she has. In fact, she was like an
enchantress who enchanted my heart and soul.
 Learn about It!

6.Plan your descriptive using an outline or graphic

organizer.
