Topic/Skill: Grammar and Descriptive Writing /The practice
of descriptive writing
Feedback provided to tutee: In the descriptive writing,
reader should be visualizing being in the moment of what I am describing.
-the purpose of describing a person, place, or thing
-must pay close attention to detail and should use your five
senses
-use lots of adjectives!
Example:
The river was a fragile, universe-blue color, like the
subtle sweep of a painter’s brush.
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: I
brainstormed for 5-10 minutes, and then I wrote this essay below:
“Jogging in the woods
Jogging is my favorite daily activity. In my busy schedule,
I always find time to go out and the exercise. It refreshes my thoughts and
ideas. It builds my muscles to be strong.
While I am jogging, I observe the nature; long and narrow
pine, cheerful cardinals, playful squirrel, and even dears. The nature changes
by seasons in the woods. The color changes on the leaves are spectacular in the
fall. Some threes have several hues of yellow, red, and brown. I like to watch
them while I am jogging.
In this beauty, when I see a dead squirrel, it is very
disturbing. I start blaming careless and cruel drivers. I lose my concentration
of jogging and worry about the creatures’ future in the wood, because cars are
increasing in the subdivision. “
