Descriptive Paragraph: This paragraph is graded on a 25-point scale. Producing a thoughtful response to the topic that is fully complete and thorough will earn you the maximum, 25 points. As always, be sure to develop your ideas adequately and follow directions.
Directions: Write a one-paragraph response (will be approximately 250-350 words in total) on the topic below using the description that starts with a topic sentence, follows with sensory details, and ends with a closing sentence.
Topic:
Write a one-paragraph description of one of your all-time favorite teachers or coaches. Try to give your reader a clear sense of what that person looks like, of what he or she wears, says, and does (use those senses), and of the dominant impression he or she makes on others—what has he or she taught you? Why are they an important influence in your life? (For an example essay on this topic, please review Alice Steinbach’s “The Miss Dennis School of Writing.”) download
Paragraph Parts: Topic Sentence will state what you will describe and indicate your dominant impression. Supporting Details appeal to the five senses, paint a mental picture for your audience, and express your ideas in specific words. The closing sentence should state the significance of this description.
