Dear Division 16,
Take a look at this quote from the book “The elements of eloquence” by Mark Forsyth.
For your blog assignment, please build a sentence using this rule above that is interesting and creative. To describe something, use words in the order “opinion-size-age-shape-colour-origin-material-purpose-Noun”.
Remember that a noun is a person, place or thing and an adjective is a word that describes a noun.
OR – if you think this rule isn’t true, build a sentence that proves it by using a different order but that still makes sense.
My example is:
“A retro large 1960s square red American plastic rotary dial telephone”
I look forward to your responses!
Jody
