Great Descriptive Writing

Posted on September 10th, 2007 by Mr. Sheehy

Having read an article about traveling, which is a descriptive article, I’d like you to write a short post talking about the article you read. Provide a link to the article’s url in the first sentences and explain why you were reading it. Then find examples in your chosen article of each of the three characteristics of good descriptive writing. Please copy and paste directly from your article, putting the quotes in blockquote format (I’ll show you how to do that) and explaining why each quote is a good example of that trait of descriptive writing.
