Description
Descriptive essays are very common at Level 1. Description is about framing what you choose to describe in a way that is relevant to the question. In this sense, description tasks move from represe...nting the content you may have read about in your module to re-presenting them to demonstrate your own understanding. Dr Georgina Blakeley explains how to balance all of this while writing in your own words and using an objective stance.
