  • Identify highlights, both positive and negative, both advantages and disadvantages, according to all of the elements researched.
• Locate research for evidence of fairness and test bias for your selected test.

Descriptive Essay

Writing Assignment

Purpose: to inform

Method of Development: description

Choose your own topic, but make sure that the topic allows you to be able to describe it. You can choose to describe a place, your favorite piece of clothing, an event, your cell phone, a friend, or something else totally different. If you have something in mind but you are unsure if it will work as a descriptive essay, please send me a message through the Messages link for assistance.

Reminders

1. Brainstorm for topics.

2. Accumulate as many details as you can about your topic, and then sift through them, discarding those that are irrelevant, weak, or unrelated to the impression you would like to convey.

3. Organize your ideas.

4. Use vivid language and varied sentence structure.

5. Remember this is not a narrative. This essay is based on painting a picture for the audience.

6. Check the syllabus for due dates.

Writing Approach

In this essay assignment, description will be the dominant technique used to develop a distinct impression of your topic. Remember that description must appeal to the senses: taste, touch, sound, sight, smell. While you need not appeal to every sense in your essay, be sure to give the reader enough description so that he/she can be a part of your topic’s development. You may certainly use figurative language in your descriptions – simile, metaphor, personification, etc. In any case, be aware of your audience (your classmates) and your tone. Your choice of words may greatly influence your reader’s impression of your topic. Be careful to present your topic as you would like it to be interpreted.
