 Descriptive Writing
The primary purpose of descriptive writing is to describe a person, place or thing in such a way that a picture is
formed in the reader's mind. Capturing an event through descriptive writing involves paying close attention to the
details by using all of your five senses. Teaching students to write more descriptively will improve their writing by
making it more interesting and engaging to read.
Characteristics of descriptive writing
1. Good descriptive writing includes many vivid sensory details that paint a picture and appeals to all of the
reader's senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste when appropriate. Descriptive writing may also paint
pictures of the feelings the person, place or thing invokes in the writer. In the video section below, watch a
teacher use a Five Senses Graphic Organizer as a planning strategy for descriptive writing.
2. Good descriptive writing often makes use of figurative language such as analogies, similes and metaphors
to help paint the picture in the reader's mind.
3. Good descriptive writing uses precise language. General adjectives, nouns, and passive verbs do not have a place in good
descriptive writing. Use specific adjectives and nouns and strong action verbs to give life to the picture you are painting in the
reader's mind.
4. 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.

Relaxing at the Beach

The beach is the perfect place for me. The air is hot, but the water is cool and fresh. I enjoy swimming
and surfing in the ocean. When I am tired, I come out and lie on the beach. The sand is soft and white.
The beach is noisy with seagulls and children laughing, but it is a pleasant noise. I even like the beach
smells. The air smells salty from the sea. I feel relaxed and peaceful. When I want to relax in summer, I
go to the beach with my family and friends. Life in the beach is the best time!

5.- Write a descriptive paragraph of your favorite season of the year in your country. Be sure to include a topic
sentence at the beginning to catch your reader’s attention, three details and a concluding sentence at the end.
