Hi,
For those who asked about material about teaching how to write a
descriptive composition:
1) Avraham Roos has a wonderful unit on this, with examples and
exercises. I think it must be on the ETNI website.
2) I teach the poem "IF" by Rudyard Kipling which has excellent
character descriptors and lines to quote in a composition describing a
person (very impressive to find one and not bad as a permanent memory
of English lessons)
3) I remember once seeing in one of our textbooks, a text entitled "My
Uncle Dave" which is a rather long description that can serve as a
model. In addition to the text, there is an activity which contains
dozens of descriptive adjectives . Perhaps others on this list know
where this text can be found.
