- Organise ideas logically when sharing information or telling about an event
The lesson
Good describing uses details. Details help others picture what you mean.
Mia tells about her dog. She says he is brown. She says he has floppy ears. She says he loves the park. Now everyone can picture him.
Speak loud enough for everyone to hear you. Look up, not down at your feet.
Use details, tell things in order, and speak loud and clear.
