Today's lesson addressed description as a line of reasoning or method of organization. I first reviewed the various lines of reasoning and discussed how figurative language plays a prominent role in the descriptive method. I then placed the various forms of figurative language on the board which we defined. Based on last night's reading of a descriptive essay, JP located and identified the writer's use of imagery and anthropomorphism. In order to evaluate if the descriptive method is effective we next identified the writer's thesis and discussed why this line of reasoning and the use of figurative language are effective to support the thesis. Last, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the essay ,JP identified the intended audience and discussed why the narrative/descriptive method is appropriate for a general audience. In this regard, we noticed the lack of expert opinions or technical language.
