How a description of a door, carefully written, can suggest the beginning of a story.
In descriptive writing one of the most common problems is that students write descriptions without thinking about the function of the description. This lesson is designed to help with that problem.
A specially written description of a door is given to be read carefully. Then the beginning of a story is provided which is suggested by the description.
The students can then continue with the story or write their own description of a door and the beginning of their own story suggested by the description.
