Descriptive writing is an important skill that is needed for students at every stage. In this class, students will get an overview of how to write descriptively for a specific descriptive writing assignment: ‘Describe a crime scene.’ They will be shown how to use sensory description, a range of descriptive techniques and an effective overall structure to engage and entertain readers.
