The document discusses the importance of descriptive writing when telling stories. Descriptive writing involves using details about how things look, smell, sound, and feel to help the listener visualize the story. The document provides examples of descriptive writing, including describing a girl named Jessie and recounting a day at the park. Readers are then asked to describe their favorite memory in detail.

1. Descriptive writing
When we are telling stories it is good if the other person can imagine it. The best way to do this
is to be descriptive. This means describing how things look, smell, sound, feel, etc. with lots of
detail
For example:
Who is Jessie?
1. She is a girl.
2. She is a 13 year old girl. She has long blond hair and bright blue eyes. She
goes to middle school and lives in Korea. She has a very beautiful smile.
How was your day at the park?
1. Good.
2. It was great! I had a picnic with my friends. We ate pizza and sandwiches
and drank juice on the grass. After we played a game of football and my
team won. There were 8 people altogether and the weather was very hot
and sunny.
