Students are further required to write a five to seven paragraph long, fully developed academic essay. A. Descriptive paragraphA descriptive paragraph describes something or someone by providing details about how it looks, sounds, smells, tastes, or feels.

A descriptive paragraph must not be confused with a narrative paragraph, which tells a story about something with plot, setting, and characters.B.
