    DESCRIPTIO

    N PATTERN
    READING & WRITING SKILLS
    DESCRIPTON PATTERN
     An act of describing.
     A process of giving statement
    on the characteristics or
    qualities of someone or
    something.
    DESCRIPTON PATTERN
     A statement that tells you how
    something or someone looks, sounds,
    etc.
     A spoken or written representation or
    account of a person, object, or event.
    PURPOSE OF DESCRIPTON
    PATTERN
     Is to recreate, invent, or visually
    present a person, place, event, or
    action so that reader can picture out
    of what is being described. It is
    heavily based on sensory details:
    sight, sound, smell, feel, and taste.
    PURPOSE OF DESCRIPTON
    PATTERN
     To tell the readers about the
    physical characteristics of a person,
    place or thing. Description relies on
    the five senses: sight, hearing,
    taste, touch, and smell.
    WHAT IS DESCRIPTIVE
    ESSAY?
     It tells you what something looks like or
    what feels like, sounds like, smells like,
    or tastes like. However, description often
    goes beyond personal sense impression, it
    can do more than what is conveyed in our
    sensory impression through imagination.
    WHAT IS DESCRIPTIVE
    ESSAY?
     For example, an essay about a “city”
    we can describe the city any of the
    following descriptions: the kinds of
    people living there, their lifestyles,
    their backgrounds and their
    attitudes.
    WHAT IS DESCRIPTIVE
    ESSAY?
     Description makes even the novelists
    creates imaginary landscape,
    historians can paint word pictures of
    historical figures and scientists can
    describe physical phenomena they
    have actually seen.
    WHAT IS DESCRIPTIVE
    ESSAY?
     When you write using
    description, you use language to
    create vivid impression of what
    something feels like for your
    readers.
    THE IMPORTANCE OF
    DESCRIPTION PATTERN
     When the writer wants to evoke the senses
    to create a picture. Often, the patterns are
    used together to give the reader a
    compelling story with vivid, descriptive
    details which help to illuminate and
    strengthen the writer’s thesis.
    TWO BASIC APPROACHES
    TO DESCRIPTION
     OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION
    APPROACH- requires precise or
    accurate descriptions based on
    what is observed or perceived of
    our senses from the subjects.
    TWO BASIC APPROACHES
    TO DESCRIPTION
     SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION
    APPROACH- this is opposite to objective
    description. This is an approach to
    description, which allows us to go beyond
    our descriptions on the subject without
    basing our descriptions from our sensory
    perception but rather through the power of
    imagination.
