Descriptive writing allows you to share with your readers in a vivid way about
Spatial order attempts to convey reality by describing the relative position of places or objects. When you use spatial order, present details to your readers as if they were observing the scene, person or the object.
Perhaps it might help you to imagine you directing a film. You create a plausible setting - farm, a castle, circus . Then you use a sensible progression, such as far to near, from top to bottom or from side to side.
Chronological OrderThis order is used to present details in the order in which they were observed. Ensure that you focus on descriptive details, not a series of events.
If describing a football match, you do not give a ball-by-ball summary of the match; instead, you develop sensory details, focusing perhaps on the pre-game crowd, one exciting play, and the moment of victory.
Order of Importance
This involves organizing details from the least important to the most important, or from the most important to the least important. The order you will select will depend on your own judgement of which arrangement is most effective.
Words and phrases such as ‘first’ and ‘most important of all’ can be used to show transition and help to make your paragraphs more coherent. The relative importance of the details must be made absolutely clear to your readers.
