Specifying Your Descriptive Essay Samples For Grade 4

Specifying Your Descriptive Essay Samples For Grade 4When I teach my students how to write a descriptive essay, I always have them bring samples of their writing to the class. Sometimes they bring a proofreader's synopsis or even a sample essay that they have written. Now, there are many ways that you can use a sample essay. Of course, you can copy it verbatim, but then you won't be able to tell if your writing is similar to theirs or not.The most typical assignment that students write is an 'Introduction' to their project. Usually, they get one page for their introduction, one page for their body, and one page for their conclusion. In this way, the teacher can see what type of essay the student will be writing. The idea is to put together a formal paragraph that is clear and concise, and also to make it interesting. If your writing is organized and professional, your teacher will know it, and they will probably help you with your language and style.However, if you are only given a f ew sentences to construct, it's much easier for the teacher to read your sample essay. When the student is assigned a sample essay to read, I usually sit and critique it. I really get the student to think about the writing. I get to tell them what kind of writing style I would like to see them use in their own projects. Here are some of the things that I look for in writing samples for grade 4:The first thing that I look for in a descriptive essay sample is the sentence structure. A descriptive essay has a simple, easy-to-understand structure that flows well. Make sure that the verbs are consistent throughout the sentence.If the sentence structure is not right, the student might get too technical with their topic and forget that their writing is supposed to be simple and understandable. For example, if the topic of the essay is 'kitchen utensils', I would not want a student to talk about how to clean the sink. The student needs to be able to describe the materials without getting to o technical.The next thing that I look for is the wordiness of the sentence. Any time that I need to read a sentence over several times to make sure that the sentence flows well, I call it a 'wordier sentence'. If your writing has too many words, it will take longer to write, so I recommend that you rewrite your writing.The last thing that I look for is whether the writer knows how to present the information that they have. I really like to see examples of how the writer presents a topic. This is one area where I suggest that the student learn how to write a better topic or an essay from someone who has done it before.The last point I want to make about the samples that I have found is that using a sample works best if you are really struggling with your topic. If you just need some direction, then it's okay to use the 'older' examples, but it doesn't do any good to use something that is so out of date. For me, it's more important that the student understand the format of the essay than the material itself.
