I have to get a rough draft of my descriptive writing assesement done by tomorrow.

Approximately one page long, what can i write about ?
I can describe a place, event, object etc.
I do have a passion for basketball so i might write about that.

Do you have any suggestions, ideas, pointers, advice or comments?

Thank You !

By the way... basketball is "king" <G>
Suggestion - good descriptive writing appeals to the senses.... Describe the crowd at a basketball game... the feeling, sound, smell, motion.

Thank you!

I've finished my rough draft but i'll use those resources to re-edit and double check.

Thanks again for the support and help :)

Certainly! If you have a passion for basketball, writing a descriptive piece about it could be a great idea. Here are some suggestions, ideas, pointers, and advice to help you get started:

1. Select a specific aspect: Focus on a particular game, a specific basketball court, your favorite basketball player, or even the excitement of a live basketball match.

2. Use vivid language: Describe the sights, sounds, and sensations associated with basketball. For example, you could describe the squeak of sneakers on the court, the thud of a ball against the backboard, the roar of the crowd, or the adrenaline rush you feel when making a shot.

3. Show, don't just tell: Instead of simply stating that basketball is exciting, use descriptive details to paint a picture in your reader's mind. You can describe the fast-paced action, the intensity of the players, the vibrant colors of the team jerseys, and the electric atmosphere in the stadium.

4. Appeal to the senses: Engage your reader by incorporating sensory details throughout your writing. Describe the feel of the ball in your hands, the taste of sweat on your lips, the smell of gymnasiums and sports drinks, and the sight of teammates in motion.

5. Organize your thoughts: Create a rough outline or structure for your writing before you begin. This can help you stay focused and ensure a clear flow of ideas.

6. Edit and revise: Once you've completed your rough draft, take the time to review and make revisions. Check for spelling and grammatical errors, and consider if your writing effectively captures your passion for basketball.

Remember to enjoy the process of writing and infuse your own personal experiences and emotions into your piece. Good luck with your descriptive writing assessment!
