  1. Voice Lesson 12 Details in Writing

  2. Read and Think… Meanwhile, Confucius pursued his studies. Whenever he had a chance, he visited he state capital, Qufu, a lively town thronged with people talking, laughing, and shouting; buying, selling, and gambling; eating at food stalls in every street; and watching acrobats, jugglers, and magicians at the marketplace, where vendors hawked such delicacies as bears’ paws, the fins of sharks, the livers of peacocks, and bees fried in their own honey. Russell Freedman, Confucius: The Golden Rule

  3. Talk about it… • What is the focus of the detail in this description of the state capital, Qufu? • How would the feeling and impact of this passage change if Freedman has ended the second sentence right after people?

  4. Now you try it… Describe a town you have visited. First decide on a focus: the people, the historic sites, the stores and restaurants, or the scenery. Now write a sentence similar to the one describing Qufu. Use lots of details to make your description come alive for the reader.

  5. Teacher example… Every summer I look for a short escape from the demands of school. Whenever I have a chance, I visit the city of Cherokee, North Carolina, a slow paced town that honors the traditions of the Native American people who have a reservation there; a town seemingly full of people touring, pointing, and enjoying the bear shows, pottery stalls, and live dancing; while others head to the fast-paced life of the casino, which is also my ultimate destination.
