Sensory Imagery

Today we talked a lot about sensory imagery. Sensory imagery is putting an image in the reader's mind based on the five senses:


Use these details to really add the "spice" to your I Am Poems. If you add at least three or four of these details in each of your questions, your answers will really shine and stand out to me and Mr. Hannah as we grade these. Remember, we want to see you, and the more you can tell us about you, the better your poem will be.

Here are just some few examples that we went over in class to guide you:

--He fumed and charged like an angry bull.
--He fell down like an old tree falling down in a storm.
--The eerie silence was shattered by her scream.
--He could hear his world crashing down when he heard the news about her.
--The word spread like leaves in a storm.
--The lake was left shivering by the touch of morning wind.
--Her face blossomed when she caught a glance of him.
--He could hear the footsteps of doom nearing.
--Her blue eyes were as bright as the Sun, blue as the sky, but soft as silk.
--The music coursed through us, shaking our bodies as if it came from within us.
--Once again her skin was soft as if she wear wearing 10 lbs of lotion.
 
The entire powerpoint is on Schoology in the I Am Poem folder for you if you need to refer back to it.

If you have any questions on this, please ask me or Mr. Hannah. You know we're here to help you do the best you can on this project.

And remember, your rough drafts are due tomorrow. They need to be a printed copy so your peers can edit and critique your poem to make it better. It cannot be hand-written or on your iPad. If you don't have a printer at home, the Learning Commons is open for you to go down to one of the computers and print it out.
