Using visual examples, Adora introduces the basic precepts of descriptive writing and then guides students through several dynamic exercises. In addition to helping students develop standard skills, this program is an excellent way to spike the level of creativity in a classroom. A follow-up lesson, ‘Advanced Descriptive Writing’ is available by request. | |
