Imagery and Sensory Details

Do Now Name a place that is important to you. Write down the place and 3 adjectives that describes this place. Ex: Your favorite hang out spot, sports field, your home etc.

Imagery Imagery gives language its forcefulness!

The Nature of Imagery Imagery makes our senses come alive when we read! An image is a single word or phrase that appeals to one of our senses.

Imagery as the Great “Helper”: When we read, imagery can help us see color or motion! It can also help us hear sound Smell an odor Feel a texture or temperature Taste a sweet, sour, or salty flavor

For Review: Metaphor: Language that makes a comparison of unlike objects Simile: compares things using “as” or “like” Personification: gives human qualities to non-humans Imagery is descriptive language… and often incorporates metaphors, similes and personification.

Imagery is a part of a writer’s style. Imagery is a key component to how interested the reader will likely be while they read! Imagery shows the reader rather than tells the reader what is occurring in the writing. Good writing uses imagery to enhance the connection to the reader! Authors and Imagery

An image can be so fresh, so powerful that it can speak to our deepest feelings. An image can be crafted so that it makes us feel joy, grief, wonder, horror, or even love. As humans, we crave connection! How Readers Connect to Imagery

Sensory Details Sensory details are those descriptive words, phrases, or sentences that let the reader see, smell, taste, touch, or hear something..

Night creatures emerge. An owl hoots. The faint scent of a skunk cuts through the smoke. The eyes of some animal peer at me from the neighboring tree - a possum maybe - catching the firelight from the Careers' torches." -- From "The Hunger Games", Chapter 13, Pg. 183.
