Dive into a world where words paint vivid pictures and imagination knows no bounds. In my descriptive writing class, you'll embark on a journey of self-expression and creativity. This course will covers the basics of descriptive writing. Students will explore how to develop a descriptive essay, how to organize, and how to brainstorm. We will discuss how to use language in a way that is sensory activating and strong without relying solely on weak adjectives for description. We will make use of similes, metaphors, and various other forms of imagery, while also discussing word choice, connotation, and denotation to help students develop and construct their own descriptive writing. This taught in an interactive, workshop format. What to expect from this class: -The secrets of crafting captivating descriptions that transport readers into another realm -Techniques for using language to evoke emotions and create a sensory experience -How to paint a picture with words, bringing characters, settings, and objects to life -Tips for adding depth and nuance to your writing, making your stories and essays stand out
