Once you have selected a topic for the description paragraph, use the prewriting technique you prefer to get the ideas flowing. Then, create and post the first draft of your description paragraph by Day 3. Be sure you have specific details that appeal to a variety of senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch) and support your topic sentence.
Your draft should contain:
- approximately 200-250 words,
- a well-developed topic sentence,
- adequate detail to support the topic sentence,
- the use of the different senses of seeing, smelling, hearing, touching, and tasting, and
- a concluding statement that ties the details together.
Instructions
Post your draft by the third day of the module. After your initial post, review and reply to a minimum of two peers’ posts (description paragraphs), noting whether they met all the requirements of the assignment. Provide meaningful and constructive feedback to your peers, so they can use it to improve their next revision, by the seventh day of the module.
