If you’re are a teacher looking for a practice description writing worksheet or an ambitious writer looking to improve their writing skills, you’re in the right place!

This description worksheet uses the simple example of an apple sitting on a countertop, but with a secret! The writer is guided through using their 5 senses and emotions/feelings to describe the scene, and a secret of their choice!

Maybe the apple is rotten on one side. Maybe the countertop has a big hole and the apple is there to cover it up. Or maybe the world is ending, and describing the apple/countertop is the only way to save the world!

Many thriller and suspense books have an unexpected real in the end, but there would’ve been clues placed throughout the novel. This worksheet guides a writer to writing description with ‘clues’ for the secret, but without mentioning the secret upfront.

If you are concerned about the difficulty level of the worksheet, don’t worry. The worksheet is filled with plenty of examples to guide you to writing your own description.
