What is descriptive writing?
Descriptive Writing is a clear description of people, places, objects, or events using appropriate details. It pays close attention to the details by using all the five senses.
Descriptive Writing is one of the genre I am familiar with. However, attempting it in class made me enjoy it more. The lecturer help bring all the ideas I needed to help me write my piece. The use of the Five Senses Cluster was a good graphic organizer to aid with brainstorming. I was able to see the topic to write about and to use smell, taste, see, hear and feel to make the paragraph interesting.
Using the Five Sense Cluster in the prewriting is an ideal tool for students. I feel that this organizer can be use in any grade level. Students are taught about their senses and they are quite aware of it too, so using this tool in Descriptive Writing will assist them. I look forward to use this tool for the students, especially for struggling writers.

Great way to make students write their ideas in order to make the piece easier for them to write. By using these simple template students will be able to think of numerous ideas, which will make it easier to develop their descriptive piece
ReplyDeleteIndeed, the 5 senses cluster is a suitable way of introducing a descriptive piece. I can remember in LIT class when I used my 5 senses cluster to describe my favourite fruit, it was very helpful. this cluster allows refer to each sense individually. this allows for much focus in producing details. However, there are certain senses depending on the topic, which may be difficult to obtain details. it is our duty as teachers to begin modelling in whatever we do, so that students can gain a good idea of how to go about gaining details for a topic. posted by Gisele Antoine

ReplyDeleteIndeed this 5 sense cluster help me very much. I recommend this to every teacher and this is a good graphic organizer to aid students to brainstorm on a topic. This will also help ideas to follow better, especially for students that are struggling to write on a topic. Mearline Hippolyte
