Descriptive Paragraph Instructions
You are required to submit this assignment once and it must meet the assignment prompt to be graded.
You may make two attempts if you choose. This will allow you to receive qualitative feedback that can help
you improve your submission. 

If you submit two attempts, your highest grade of the two attempts will be used to calculate your
overall grade (so a second attempt can only help you).  
After you submit your assignment once, a 2nd Attempt Turnitin assignment link (Optional) will
become available. Use this 2nd Attempt link to submit your second attempt. 
When resubmitting your assignment, avoid focusing solely on the grader’s draft feedback; use the
feedback as a supplement to the course lessons and your own revision ideas. Always expect to
revise beyond what the grader speci�cally notes. 

Outdoor Experience Description – Detail a real or imaginary experience walking through an outdoor event
or activity, such as a zoo, open-air market, festival, etc.

You only need to develop one paragraph for this assignment, but it should include many sensory details
and directional transitions. 

Start with a topic sentence, which will also serve as the thesis statement, that explains the
exhibition you are experiencing as well as mentions how the adventure ignites your senses. 
In the sentences following, describe your journey. What do you see? Hear? Feel? Smell? Taste?
Where are these experiences located (directional transitions)? To the right? Just above? The
reader should be able to build the environment around you and take part in the sensory experience
you illustrate as he or she reads along, so be as descriptive as necessary, touching upon all �ve
senses within the body paragraph. 
Finally, complete your paragraph with a concluding sentence that summarizes your outing, and
make sure it has a point! In other words, what did you take away from this excursion?

Sample thesis statement: As I walk toward the Brook�eld Zoo entrance gate for my �rst zoo experience, I
notice a �urry of lively activity in front of me, so on my way to the gorilla den, I can feel my excitement
building, and as I get closer, the sounds and smells strengthen, making the chill of my cold beverage much
more apparent; I hope I am ready for this.

Notes

You can use either past or present tense verbs to describe your experience in this assignment, but
avoid unnecessary tense shifts.
In addition to directional transitions, be sure to use standard transitions between sentences where
applicable so that your ideas are �uid from start to �nish.
