2. Sensory Detail
Sensory detail is an essential part
of writing in that it puts the reader
in the writers perspective by giving
them the distinct sights, sounds,
smells, and feelings of where they
are and what is happening.

3. Leads and Ends
Leads and ends help writers by
drawing the reader in with an
interesting topic and being
able to wrap it up in an
exciting way. The ability to use
leads and ends effectively
make for a great piece of
writing.

4. Narrowed Scope
Having a narrowed scope is an
important way to make sure you
keep the reader engaged without
rambling about minute details or
overloading them with information.

5. Thesis statements are an important aspect in
engaging and informing the reader to what your
writing is going to be about as well as giving your
main point of the idea.

6. The conclusion is probably the most
important piece in writing. The
conclusion wraps up the writers
ideas as well as leaving the reader
satisfied in what they read and not
being left with any question marks.
