Sensory writing

We wandered over the the grassed area in front of the Secondary building and sat very quietly for 15 minutes. We wrote what we could see, smell, feel, hear and taste.

The plan is to think of detail and description to make our writing more interesting.

We came back to class and shared our ideas. The students then had a second attempt using descriptive words from our class brainstorm.

Here are some descriptive passages .....

I can smell clean, fresh air. It is slapping my face and my hat. It is cold and clean. It makes me heal. 

Jiwon

I am sitting in the field. I feel the breeze pass by. I can see birds hopping. I can smell freshly cut grass. I can feel the smooth grass. 

Shelby

I see water shooting up and falling on the grass. The water looks hot.

Nikor

I see bugs hopping, jumping towards the grass. i feel the wind blowing in my hair. I hear the Secondary students talking. I can see them going to their next class. They don't look happy. 

Seo Yeon

I sit here in silence, with the occasional sound of talking. I see a leaf flutter down and land on the grass. I see a snow white flower planted calmly in the grass.

Jed

I'm having a great time out here. I can see dragonflies rushing by me. A butterfly flutters in the distance. 

Teppi

I could hear the Secondary students talking to each other. Chit chat, chit chat. I smell my wooden grey pencil with bold lead inside. i hear a little bird chirp.
