During the webinar, I will present findings from a Learning Study focusing on how to teach 9–10-year-old students to use descriptions in story writing in ways that evoke emotions and create suspense for the reader. The study is based on a phenomenographic analysis of qualitatively different ways of experiencing the object of learning, resulting in five categories of description and six critical aspects. I will also illustrate how these critical aspects guided the instructional design.
