F. Learning Material:1. Definition of Descriptive Paragraph

Descriptive paragraph is paragraph which expresses or describes place, thing and person in such vivid detail that the readers can easily visualize the described place, thing and person or can picture what it looks like. In addition, descriptive paragraph is also defined as a paragraph which is written with our senses since the paragraph will make the readers see, touch, taste, hear or smell the object.

The writer should try to present his/her paragraph in the light of the five senses so that the readers will have the same picture as the writer. Furthermore, writing a descriptive paragraph is mainly intended to provide the reader with a vivid description so that the paragraph will appear as a picture to the readers. Therefore, a good descriptive paragraph will make the readers clearly catch what is trying to describe. 2. Generic Structure

Descriptive paragraph is intended to describe place, person, and thing so that the reader will be able to visualize the object. Writing descriptive paragraph, generally, you have to consider the following generic structure:

a. Identification

Identification is a part in which you identify or write the recognition; moreover, it can be a general statement about place, person, or thing that you want to describe.

b. Descriptions

Descriptions are vivid detail of place, person, or thing that you want to describe so that the reader can easily imagine or picture the object, or they can feel the object with the five senses.

c. Conclusion

The last part of descriptive paragraph is optional (i.e. it may be included or not). In this part, you conclude the paragraph or restate the identification.

3. Writing Descriptive Paragraph

In this sub discussion you will be given step by step processes of writing descriptive paragraph. The process of writing descriptive paragraph is preceded by writing the identification, descriptions, and conclusion, and it can be further described as follows:

a. Identification

Identification states or identifies the place, person or thing that you want to describe. Identification will tell the reader what is going to be described.

Example: I think that my mother is a beautiful personb. Descriptions

After stating identification of the paragraph, now you try to develop it through providing it with some descriptions that can picture place, person, or thing that you are going to describe. These descriptions should be well organized in order to make it unified and coherent. Use as many as possible descriptive words that reveal the description of the object.

In descriptive the more details you include, the more clear your reader will imagine what you are describing. Your details should appeal to the five senses, and they should tell the reader how something looks, smells, sounds, feels and tastes. Write about colors, sizes, shapes, odors, noises, and textures.

To develop your descriptions, in order to make them well organized, you can use spatial order (Oshima and Hogue 2007). In description, a writer uses spatial order to organize his/her ideas. Spatial order is the arrangement of items in order by space. Here are some spatial order signals: at the top of, in the center, on the left, in front of, in the front of, inside, next to, between, behind, in back of, in the back of, across

The following are some descriptions which can be drawn from the topic sentences:

Example: She is not tall but not short, and she has curly hair and brown.

Her eyes color are like honey and her color skin color light brown, and she has a beautiful smile. Her weight likes 120 lbs.

She is a very kind person. She is very lovely, friendly, patient, and she loves to help people.c. Conclusion

After writing a good identification and its descriptions, now you should also write a good conclusion. A conclusion is not absolutely necessary, but it is often very helpful to the readers because it usually signals the end of the paragraph and because it reminds them of your important points.

A concluding sentence can be a paraphrase (i.e. repetition of the topic sentence in different words) of the topic sentence or summary which is not specifically stated in the topic sentence.

Example: I love my mom, because she is a good example to me.

After constructing identification, descriptions, and conclusion, these three elements are further arranged into a descriptive paragraph. In arranging these elements, we, obviously, have to consider the two additional elements (i.e. unity and coherence). The paragraph will be as

follows:

My Mother I think that my mother is a beautiful person. She is not tall but not short, and she has curly hair and brown. Her eyes color are like honey and her color skin color light brown, and she has a beautiful smile. Her weight likes 120 lbs.

She is a very kind person. She is very lovely, friendly, patient, and she loves to help people. She loves being in the Church, and she loves sing and dance too. She is a very good child, wife and mother. She always takes care of her family. She likes her house to be clean and organized. She a very organized person, and all things in the house are in the right place. She doesnt like messes. She always has a smile on her face. She is so sweet and lovely. I like when I am going to sleep or went I wake up or when I am going to go to some places, she always give me a kiss, and when the family have a problem she always be with us to helps us and to give us all her love. I love my mom, because she is a good example to me.Exercise book (Lks bahasa inggris SMP Kelas VII)Time Allotment: 4 x 40 minutes 2. Technique:CIRC(cooperative integrated reading and composition)3.
