Here's a little hint at your next assignment. This is also available under the semester one tab above the assessment forms that go with it. Enjoy

What should my descriptive assignment look like?

I’m glad you asked. Your descriptive assignment is much different from your narrative assignment. The descriptive piece is going to be more creative and melodic.

Your job is to describe a scene. You can write about a scene on a marshrutka, your roommate as he or she cooks, or the guards in front of TNPU. Use as much language as you can to get the picture across. I want your reader to be able to see the scene you saw.

Here’s an idea of what your descriptive piece could be organized like.

Intro – focus on the scene. Describe the place. Is it on the street, in a room, on a bus? What does it look like? Are there scratches on the wall? How many seats are there? How much space is in front of you?

Middle – focus on the person or subject of the scene. What does the person look like? What is he or she wearing? What does his or her body language tell you?

End – What sort of emotions do you feel after seeing this scene? What sort of conclusions can you make? Think of what you want the reader to remember and try to paint those conclusions in the ending of your descriptive piece.

Happy Writing!
