Chapter 6 Description

• Description essays should describe something vividly to the reader using strong sensory details.

• Sensory details appeal to the five human senses: sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch.

• A description essay should start with the writer’s main impression of a person, a place, or an object.

• Use spatial order to organize your descriptive writing.
