Situation (in the handout):
You and your friend have just finished school and on the way home and you need
shelter from the sudden change in weather. You see a deserted house and decide to
enter it. Describe in detail the appearance of the house and the path that leads up to
the front door. How do you feel as you approach? What type of door do you enter?
Imagine that you have gone through the doorway and that you are standing there
listening to the sound of the ocean that is nearby. You look around and you notice all
sorts of things, what’s on the floor, the walls and upon the ceiling. Think how you will
describe what you see to inform the reader. You can hear a variety of noises, some are
close some are further away and some are quiet distant. How do you feel? Are you
scared or excited or even aware there is something not quite right? Perhaps the wind is
blowing through the doorway and through the broken windows other sounds are made
because of the wind? What are the scents/smells? Can a reader be made aware of
what you see, hear, feel and smell what words best describe them? Explain what you
see/feel in detail.
