Descriptive Essay, week 2, English homework help
This is the Week where you submit a Descriptive piece.
Go to Lectures Week 2 to see specs and tips on how to best approach this type of writing style
Do your research first to make sure you know what this writing style encompasses.
As always, I recommend that you brainstorm your idea, weighing options, and then create an outline for your essay before writing it. I also urge you to write a first draft, print it, and then edit it. Only submit your final draft on Blackboard. Grammatical and punctuation errors will be penalized.
Italicize your thesis statement and topic sentences.
Have a creative title to draw readers to your piece, not the name of the assignment (e.g. Descriptive Essay)
