Recall a "first" in life: the birth of your first baby sibling, your first time driving, the first birthday party you remember, or another first. Write two paragraphs that describe this important event, paying particular attention to details and sequencing. Remember that details refer to the facts of observations an author includes or omits. Think of details as specifics. For example, if the author said she drove a Mustang, you wouldn't know much. However, if she said she drove a 1965 candy apple red Mustang convertible with baby soft white seats and polished chrome instruments, you would have a much better idea. Use proper spelling and grammar.
