-Based on the conversation you had with your partner write a descriptive essay about them.


1)
First draft.
First paragraph: 
  • Does your first paragraph have an introduction? Can the reader understand what you're writing about without knowing about the person?
  • Does the last sentence of your first paragraph state the main focus of your essay? It could be as simple as "Joe is a really interesting person." You'll have to backup that focus with details in the body of the essay.
Second/Third paragraphs:
  • List three or four things that you learned about your partner in class today. Does your essay have specific details
Last paragraph:
  • Does your essay have a conclusion that gives the reader the overall or general statement of your new acquaintence?
