Descriptive Paragraph
1) Find and Explore a Topic
Before you can write an effective descriptive paragraph, you need to do two things:find a good topic;study the topic carefully (a strategy that we call probing ).
2) Draft a Descriptive Paragraph
Once you have settled on a topic for your descriptive paragraph and collected some details, you're ready to assemble those details in a rough draft that begins with a topic sentence .
3) Revise a Descriptive Paragraph
Now you will revise your descriptive paragraph, concentrating on its organization . That is, you will check to see that your sentences follow a clear and logical order, each detail related to the one that came before and leading to the one that follows.
4) Revise, Edit, and Proofread
You're almost done. It's now time to invite someone else (a classmate, for example, or your instructor) to read your descriptive paragraph and suggest ways to improve it. Taking your reader's comments into consideration, revise the paragraph one last time
