Describing  A Foreign City

How could you best describe a city your readers have never seen? If your description was limited to one paragraph, you’d have to choose your words carefully. Which details would be most interesting to your reader? Which details would you decide to leave out?

A.  Study these facts about Paris, France. Circle five key details that, in your opinion, would give your readers the most enjoyable “armchair travel” experience. Then write your descriptive paragraph in your notebook.


B.     Now do some research of other foreign cities in the world . Use the links below to help you gather some facts about the city you would like to write about. 



C. Write your list of facts in your composition notebook.


D. Decide which facts you will use, and then write a first draft of your paragraph in your   notebook. To complete the process, check your paragraph to be sure that your spelling, grammar, and punctuation are correct. Write your revision on a separate sheet of paper.
