- Writing to Describe
- Use the senses to create a clear impression
- Sight, Smell, Sound, Touch, Taste.
- Maybe write your description from the point of view of an observer... whose identity you reveal at the end.
- e.g. a mannequin in a shopping centre, a tree in the countryside, a clock in a train-station
- Vary the way you describe - take your reader on a journey of the place, person or event.
- Avoid listing the things you are describing - take one image and describe it in detail using a variety of techniques
- Include these devices: similes, metaphors, onomatopoeia, alliteration, personification, rule of three.
- Don't be afraid to focus upon just one aspect and then really go to town in your description
- You get marks for saying a lot about a little, not a little about a lot!
- Use the senses to create a clear impression
