LESSON PLAN OF DESCRIPTIVE TEXT

Objectives Develop the ability to write clear and detailed descriptive

texts by identifying and describing key characteristics of a subject.
Improve the ability to use specific and vivid language to paint a mental
image for the reader.
Practice the ability to structure a descriptive text coherently and
cohesively, using the appropriate organization of ideas.
Introduction (10-15 minutes) Review of Previous Content: Start the
lesson by quickly reviewing what descriptive texts are and their
importance in communication. Remind students that descriptive texts are
used to provide information about people, places, objects, or events,
allowing the reader to visualize the subject being described.
Problem Situations: Present two situations to the students:
The first situation could be: "Imagine you are writing a letter to a friend
who has never been to your city. How would you describe your city to
them?"
The second situation could be: "You are writing a book and need to
describe the main character. How would you do that?"
Contextualization: Explain the importance of descriptive texts in daily
life, highlighting that they are used in a variety of situations, from writing
essays in school to creating product descriptions in e-commerce. Mention
that the ability to write effective descriptive texts is a valuable skill that
can be applied in many areas of life.
Introduction to the Topic: Introduce the topic of the lesson - how to write
a descriptive text - and briefly explain what will be covered in the lesson.
Mention that students will learn how to identify and describe key
characteristics of a subject, use specific and vivid language, and
structure their texts clearly and cohesively.
Curiosities and Stories: To capture students' attention, share two
curiosities or stories related to descriptive texts:
The first curiosity could be: "Did you know that the ability to write
descriptive texts was considered so important in ancient times that some
cultures used it as a form of art? For example, the Greeks and Romans
were known for their detailed and vivid descriptions in their literature."
The second story could be: "Have you heard of the 'Descriptive Text
Challenge'? It is a game in which players have to describe a word without
using any common words. This game shows how descriptive texts can be
fun and challenging!"
Development (20-25 minutes) Theory - Structure of a Descriptive Text (5-
7 minutes): Start the theoretical part by explaining the basic structure of
a descriptive text. Emphasize that a descriptive text should have an
introduction, body, and conclusion, just like any other type of text.
However, in a descriptive text, the body is where the description takes
place, and the conclusion serves to summarize the main points.
Theory - Descriptive Language (5-7 minutes): Next, focus on descriptive
language. Explain that descriptive language is rich in details and uses
specific words to create a clear and vivid image in the reader's mind.
Provide examples of descriptive language, such as words that describe
colors, shapes, sizes, textures, sounds, and smells.
Practice - Text Analysis (5-7 minutes): After the theory, conduct a text
analysis activity. Provide students with a short descriptive text and ask
them to identify the different descriptive elements. For example, they can
identify the words that describe colors, shapes, sizes, textures, sounds,
and smells. This activity will help students understand how descriptive
language is used in a text.
Theory - Techniques for Writing Descriptive Texts (5-7 minutes): Next,
present some techniques for writing descriptive texts. Explain that
students can use adjectives and adverbs to add details to their
descriptions, compare the subject being described with something else,
use the five senses to describe the subject, and organize their
descriptions in a logical way.
Practice - Writing a Descriptive Text (5-7 minutes): Now it's time for
students to practice what they have learned. Divide the class into groups
and ask each group to write a short descriptive text about a subject of
their choice. Encourage them to use descriptive language and the
techniques they have learned. After the texts are written, ask each group
to read their text to the class. This will give students the opportunity to
see how others have applied the concepts they have learned.
Feedback (10-15 minutes) Group Discussion (5-7 minutes): After the
presentation of the texts, facilitate a group discussion. Ask students to
share their experiences while writing the texts. Inquire about which
descriptive techniques they found most useful and which challenges they
faced. This discussion will allow students to learn from each other and
reflect on the writing process.
Connection to Theory (3-5 minutes): Next, make the connection between
practice and theory. Remind students of the descriptive techniques they
learned and how they were applied in the texts written by the groups.
Highlight the importance of descriptive language in creating vivid and
clear descriptions.
Individual Reflection (2-3 minutes): Finally, ask students to reflect
individually on what they have learned. Present the following questions:
What was the most important concept you learned today?
What questions have not been answered yet?
Feedback (2-3 minutes): Encourage students to share their reflections
with the class. This will help identify any gaps in students' understanding
and provide valuable feedback for future lessons.
Closure (1 minute): Conclude the lesson by reinforcing the importance of
descriptive texts in daily life and encouraging students to continue
practicing their writing skills. Remind them that writing is a skill that
improves with practice, and that they are already on the right track by
learning about the structure and language of descriptive texts.
Conclusion (5-7 minutes) Summary of the Lesson (2-3 minutes): Start the
Conclusion by summarizing the main points of the lesson. Remind
students about the structure of a descriptive text (introduction, body, and
conclusion) and the importance of descriptive language to create vivid
and clear descriptions. Also, recap the descriptive techniques they
learned, such as the use of adjectives and adverbs, comparisons, sensory
descriptions, and logical organization.
Connection between Theory, Practice, and Applications (1-2 minutes):
Explain how the lesson connected theory, practice, and applications.
Emphasize that by analyzing and writing descriptive texts, students had
the opportunity to apply the theoretical concepts they learned.
Additionally, by discussing the importance of descriptive texts in daily
life, students were able to see the practical relevance of what they
learned.
Extra Materials (1-2 minutes): Suggest extra materials for students who
wish to deepen their knowledge of descriptive texts. These materials may
include writing books, writing websites, online exercises, and examples
of descriptive texts in different genres (narratives, essays, poems, etc.).
Importance of the Subject (1 minute): Finally, emphasize the importance
of the subject of the lesson for students' daily lives. Remind them that the
ability to write clear and detailed descriptive texts is valuable not only in
school but also in many professional and personal situations. Whether
they are writing an essay, an email, a report for work, or a letter to a
friend, the ability to describe effectively is essential for communication.
Closure (1 minute): Conclude the lesson by congratulating the students
on their efforts and encouraging them to continue practicing their
writing skills. Remind them that writing is a skill that improves with
practice, and that they are already on the right track by learning about
the structure and language of descriptive texts.
