A descriptive text usually focuses on describing a single location, object, event, person, or place. It endeavors to engage all five of the reader’s senses to evoke the sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and feel of the text’s subject.

As with all genres of writing, we can guide our students on how to best organize and structure a descriptive text effectively.

In this article, we’ll take a closer look at how to choose a topic for a descriptive text, prepare an outline, and ultimately produce a well-written descriptive text.

Generally, descriptive texts are narrow in focus. This allows for an in-depth exploration of the subject. If ever the old adage show, don’t tell applied to a writing genre, descriptive texts are it.

Whether you are choosing a topic for your students, or they are choosing what to write about themselves, be sure the topic is something that can sustain their interest, as well as the reader’s interest.
