New Writing assignment continues...

"What's In The Scenery?" Sensory Imagery Writing

Sensory details allow the reader to put themselves into your writing mentally by forming a picture in his/her mind. Without sensory details, the reader becomes bored and cannot emotionally connect to the story.

Sensory details include words that describe sights, sounds, textures, smells, and sometimes tastes of the setting, characters, and interactions. 

Directions: Write powerful, image-creating sentences by looking at the image you printed out and adding sensory details. Make up additional details to construct new sentences.

…………*** This is a FIRST DRAFT with editing and revising, later. ***……..…….
