Describe it as if you were explaining to someone who can't see it. Think about: Is it handwritten or typed? Is it all by the same person? Are there stamps or other marks? What else do you see on it?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not specify what is what you need to describe.

What are you referring to?

However, trying to help, we can say the following.

Your description can be to analyze a document. It could be a letter, a written speech, a press release, a document from the government of the United States. It could be a Presidential document. Or a document from Congress.

The important thing is that you can develop the skills to explain the document you choose to people who are not familiar with it. You have to be specific.

For instance, let's pick the Declaration of Independence promulgated on July 4, 1776.

You have to describe the type of document. The type of paper. The typography. Is it clear? It's in modern English? How long is it? what are the main ideas on it? Who signed it? When? What is the importance of the document?
