NYSESLAT Writing - Descriptive Paragraph

One of your writing assignments will be to write a paragraph that describes what is happening in the picture.  The reader should be able to imagine the entire scene without ever looking at the picture.  Look at the picture and think about the following:

  • What is the setting? 
  • Who are the people and what are they doing?
  • What might they be thinking or feeling?
Remember, your paragraph has to have a well-written topic sentence, supporting details, clear conclusion, and writing conventions of standard English. See the RUBRIC page above for more information on how your work is graded.
