Description Essay
The first essay of the semester will be a descriptive essay. The goal of this essay is to learn how to effectively use a vivid blend of abstract and concrete language to describe a person, place, thing, feeling, or experience. Furthermore, the students will revise their descriptions so that they are writing for a specific purpose (exigence) other than simply to describe something for the sake of describing it. In other words, we will practice writing an essay with a strong rhetorical purpose.
