Descriptive Writing*Descriptive writing offers a portrayal of a person, place, or thing, and gives the reader a more vivid experience.*General characteristics of descriptive writing include:

*Elaborate use of sensory language;*Rich, vivid, and lively detail;*Figurative language such as simile, hyperbole,

metaphor, symbolism, personification;*Showing, rather than telling through the use of

active verbs and precise modifiers.

Let’s Practice!Fact Words:Who? What? Why? Where? When?

Let’s Practice!Descriptive Sense Words:

Let’s Practice!What do the colors make you think of or feel?

What sounds do you think you would hear if you were in the scene?

What would you feel if you were in the scene?

If you could touch something in the piece, how would it feel?

What might you smell or taste if you were in the scene?

Let’s Practice!Create metaphors and similes by using the following beginnings, or some similar to these; avoid clichés:

The grass was soft, like….Her face was as red as…Gentle as…The buildings in the city are tall men …
