How do you teach descriptive composition?

To teach descriptive composition, start by encouraging students to use their senses—sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch—to vividly portray scenes or emotions. Provide examples of strong descriptive writing and analyze the techniques used, such as figurative language and sensory details. Engage students in writing exercises that focus on specific settings or characters, prompting them to incorporate rich imagery and varied sentence structures. Finally, facilitate peer reviews to help students refine their descriptions through constructive feedback.
