How do you describe something?

Description is giving the reader (or listener) enough details to picture the thing themselves. When you describe you need to include:

• what it looks like
• what is sounds like
• what it smells like
• if it makes sense, you could include feel and taste too!
• how the thing or place or person makes someone feel

Just pretend you're telling your friends all about whatever you're trying to describe, and just write it down instead of talking. You want to provide a vivid image that the reader can imagine.
