"Writing Description" (Lesson 5)

A colleague or classmate is planning to spend a few days of vacation in your hometown. Compose an essay of about 300 words describing the places of interest your friend might visit. Some of these sites may not be listed in any guidebook, but because of your intimate knowledge of the area, you can direct a visitor to those sites.

This assignment requires "knowledge (both) by participation and observation," but a bibliography is not required.

Please type—double spaced—to allow room for comments
