Revising 1. Descriptive Language 2. Conciseness 3. Adding and Deleting Information Assignment • 1. Fold a sheet of paper in half like a hamburger. • 2. Write one paragraph describing your bedroom (or someone’s you know) at its messiest. • 3. Make a list of 10 things you touch, taste, see, hear, or feel in this bedroom. • 4. Using the bottom half of your paper, rewrite your original paragraph to include these items. Descriptive Language • A writer’s choice of words can make the difference between boring and interesting. To make writing more effective, writers often use descriptive language. – descriptive language includes: • sensory details – words that appeal to the senses • colorful modifiers – adjectives and adverbs that give vivid details • action words – verbs that show specific, vivid action Practice • 1. Fold a sheet of paper lengthwise (like a hotdog). • 2. On the left side of the paper, write a list of 10 random nouns. • 3. Turn the paper over and write a list of 10 verbs specific to an occupation or job (ex. chef) • 4. Unfold the paper and match the nouns on the left to the verbs on the right (the nouns should NOT normally go with the verb). • 5. Write 10 sentences, using each noun-verb combination in a sentence.
