Teaching Students to Write Sensibly: "Once More to the Lake,""On Golden Pond," and Magazine Advertisements.

Torsney, Cheryl B.

Exercise Exchange, v30 n1 p31-33 Fall 1984

Describes reviewing the basics of descriptive writing by having students compare the images described in E. B. White's "Once More to the Lake," with those in the film "On Golden Pond." Students then write a descriptive paragraph, from an internal or external perspective, about a magazine advertisement chosen for its sensory appeal. (HTH)
