objective and subjective two paragraph writing

Neighborhood Stroll
Instructions: For this assignment, we will practice the difference between objective and subjective descriptive writing. This is posted as a pdf to this week’s module. After going over the material…
Take a brief walk outdoors. Take notes during your brief walk. Plan on spending 10-15 minutes taking notes. Collect observations and impressions of sights, sounds, and smells — anything from the weather, the season, the time of day to the people you see, how crowded it is, the general mood, etc.
Return to your work space to write up your notes using complete sentences in TWO 10-12 sentence, well-organized, well-developed paragraphs. The paragraphs are broken down as follows:
Paragraph 1: Objective description of your surroundings. You may want to adopt the stance of a local giving a guided tour to someone unfamiliar with the area. Alternatively, you may choose to play the role of this unknown visitor, reporting what you experience with fresh eyes.
Paragraph 2: Subjective description of your walk. What about this place effects you, and how do you think it shapes your world view and your values? Don’t be afraid to take liberties with describing what surrounds you. See the student example “The Valley of Windmills” included in the pdf.
Turn in your paragraphs to the textbox.
