UNIT 2: I’m an excellent writer, I always tell the details…
Competence: I am able to find and provide basic information in a brochure.
Lesson Objective: I am able to write and understand a descriptive paragraph.
READING: Novel The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini.
When we were children, Hassan and I used to climb the poplar trees in the driveway o f
the father’s house and annoy the neighbors by reflecting sunlight into their homes with a
shard of mirror. We would sit across from each other on a pair of high branches, our naked
feet dangling, our trouser pockets filled with dried mulberries and walnuts. We took turns
with the mirror as we ate mulberries, pelted each other with them, giggling, laughing. I can
still see Hassan up on that tree, sunlight flickering through the leaves on his almost
perfectly round face, a face like a Chinese doll chiseled from hardwood: his flat, broad nose
and slanting, narrow eyes like bamboo leaves, eyes that looked, depending on
the light, gold, green, even sapphire. I can still see his tiny low-set ears and that
pointed stub of a chin, a meaty appendage that looked like it was added as a
mere afterthought. And the cleft lip, just off mid-line, where the Chinese doll
maker’s instrument may have slipped, or perhaps he had simply grown tired
and careless. (Exercise adapted from Greig, N. 2005. Playwriting: A Practical Guide. Great Britain: Routledge.. 44.)
Exercise: While you are reading, look for key words or expressions and write them down. For the
time being, do not focus too much on the characters or the story, simply write down the words and
expressions that catch your eye. It does not matter is certain words or expressions occur more than
once, make sure you write them down each time.
Words: Look for the meaning of each new word:

GRAMMAR: When writing a descriptive text Descriptive, you will see that is all about diction and
figures of speech. The writer strives not only to portray as vivid an image as language can conjure up,
but also create sensations in the reader using as many senses as possible, including the reader’s

the use vivid diction and figures of speech is key to doing this.

New concept: Word Banks are places where students can keep a list of words they have learned so

purposes. Students should be expected to use the words in their writing and their speaking.
