This document provides instructions for writing a 1500-2000 word piece about a person that is due for in-class editing on October 12th. It should be made available to peer groups at least 24 hours before and a revised copy uploaded by midnight on October 14th. The writing should tightly focus on describing one person in detail through showing their actions, character traits, and dialogue rather than just telling about them. To achieve this, the document recommends showing rather than telling, focusing on key features and behaviors, using dialogue, observing closely, and filling the frame with descriptive details.
