In The Prince and the Pauper, Mark Twain paints a word picture of King Henry VIII using descriptive language:
Before him, at a little distance, reclined a very large and very fat man, with a wide, pulpy face, and a stern expression. His large head was very grey; and his whiskers, which he wore only around his face, like a frame, were grey also. His clothing was of rich stuff, but old, and slightly frayed in places. One of his swollen legs had a pillow under it, and was wrapped in bandages. This stern-countenanced invalid was the dread Henry VIII.
And in The Bronze Bow [aff. link], Elizabeth George Speare describes a young Roman soldier:
When he straightened again, the Roman was pulling off his helmet, revealing crisp fair hair. He wiped the back of his hand across his wet forehead where the metal had left an uncomfortable-looking crease. With a shock, Daniel saw that he was very young... The beardless cheeks and chin scarcely needed a razor. His skin was white, mottled and peeling from exposure to the sun, so that he could not have seen service long under the Galilean skies. The eyes that stared back at Daniel were a clear bright blue. He looked as though he might be about to speak.
Using Descriptive Writing Tools

Can your high schoolers describe a person using vivid vocabulary like the above examples? Without good observation skills or an arsenal of strong words, this can be a challenging task!

Can they describe their subject in detail without turning it into a narrative or story? When I was teaching writing classes, this was a hard concept for my students to grasp. Even with careful guidelines, many still ended up focusing on what the person was doing instead of how they looked.

Use the following tips as teaching tools in one of two ways:

1. Discuss the many ways to describe a person before letting students loose to brainstorm; OR

2. Once the rough draft has been written and edited, give this list of ideas to stimulate creativity and to help them write a meatier revision.

Either way, whether you work on better brainstorming or focus on more polished revisions, improved description will result.

How to Describe a Person

It's good to let your kids struggle with the initial writing process. As they wrestle with ideas and words, it will remind them of the importance of thorough and effective brainstorming. The following ideas will help them improve their descriptive paragraphs as they think of more concrete ways to describe a person's appearance.

TIP: Students shouldn't be expected include every descriptive element listed below. Rather, a few well-chosen details will go a long way toward bringing their subject to life.

Skin and Complexion

Complexion is the natural appearance and color of the skin, especially of the face. For example, "Mary has a soft, creamy complexion."

Wrinkled: covered with lines or loose folds of skin; often associated with age

Freckled: sprinkled or covered with light brown spots

Ruddy: skin that has a reddish tint; may have the appearance of sunburn

Sallow: skin that has a yellowish tint; may be associated with illness

Tanned: skin with a warm, golden-brown tint

Rosy or fresh-faced: pink-cheeked, fair complexion that glows with a hint of pink

Other skin-related adjectives: pale, fair, spotless, silky, smooth, creamy, dewy, baby-soft, peaches-and-cream, glowing, paper-thin or translucent (as with a very old person), sunburned, peeling, rough, callused, weathered, weatherbeaten, craggy, leathery, mottled, dry, brown, dark

TIP: Pay attention to the eyes, as they often reveal much about a person.

Shape, size, and appearance: large, small, almond-shaped, round, squinty, crinkly, bulging, heavy-lidded, hooded, deep-set, close-set, hollow, tear-filled

Eye color: black, brown, hazel, green, blue, violet, gray, amber

Other: brown-eyed boy, b right-eyed sister, w ide-eyed child, gold-flecked eyes

Mouth and Lips

Mouth expressions: laugh, smile, beam, grin, frown, grimace, scowl, sneer, curl, pout

Adjectives describing the mouth or mouth expressions: toothy, toothless, gap-toothed, kind, sweet, dimpled, relaxed, firm, serious, cruel, snarling

Hair color: black, brunette, brown, chestnut-brown, blond, honey-blond, golden-blond, ash-blond, fair, cornsilk, auburn, red, strawberry-blond, gray, silver, white, salt-and-pepper

Facial Hair

Hair: beard, goatee, mustache, soul patch, sideburns

Beard growth: stubble, fuzz, peach fuzz, bristles, five o'clock shadow (describes new beard growth that's shadowy in appearance. It's usually more noticeable late in the day on the jaw, chin, or cheek area, but some men purposely grow five o'clock shadows.)

Adjectives: bearded, bushy, stubbly, bristly, scratchy, unshaven, shaggy, whiskered, beardless, clean-shaven, smooth, trimmed, neatly-trimmed, pencil-thin

There are so many ways to describe people! What other words would you include?
Do you need help teaching descriptive writing to your middle and high school kids? WriteShop I provides a strong foundation in concrete description, teaching students how to describe an object, animal, person, food, season, and place. Students learn to choose strong words to bring their subjects to life. WriteShop II continues by offering several lessons in advanced descriptive narration, where students weave vivid description into a story or other narrative.
