  • Module 2: Description

    Students will identify techniques of descriptive writing, which will culminate in the writing of a descriptive essay. By using each stage of the writing process, students will demonstrate a clear understanding of sensory details and logical ways to order them in an essay. These skills will enable students to organize information in personal and professional settings.
