Today
we wrote a good copy of our descriptive paragraph (describing a person or place
of our choice). We did this to practice using topic sentences, supporting details
and concluding sentences in the correct manner and to describe things using
words that appeal to the five senses (sight, smell, sound, taste and touch).
These skills can be used outside of Humanities when describing things to people
who have not seen the same things as you, and being able explain what you have
seen descriptively can help them picture the image more vividly. No homework
was assigned in class today.
Thanks Amy, you didn't mention that you got the draft of your paragraph back before writing the good copy. What is the importance of getting feedback?
