Writing focus...
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.

Mission Possible!
Your mission, which you must choose to accept, is this…
~Your writing begins with you exploring your biome (scene) that you selected. You will describe many parts with plenty of detail and near the end you realize that you are lost!
