Sensory Details What do you know about Sensory Details? see, feel, hear, taste, smell Sensory Details allow you paint a picture AND the reader be in the picture because sometimes you can do more than see it; you can also feel it, hear it, taste it, and smell it, too! Read Hectic Hallways. Find the Sensory Details that help the reader do more than just see the picture—it’s like being there.

Sensory Details Questions about the poem: Why do you think the sense of taste isn’t in the poem? Do writers have to use ALL their senses in every writing piece? How do you know which ones to use?

Sensory Details You will pick a place and imagine being there. Think of a specific place you have been to: (i.e. beach, Six Flags, downtown) You will pick a place and imagine being there. Close your eyes for one minute and make a picture in your mind. Allow yourself to “be” there. What do you: see, hear, feel, smell, taste? Use those thoughts to help you write about this place. Share with a partner!

Trying On a Voice unique only to the person who wrote it. What do you think when you hear the word “voice”. Voice is when you know the author is a real person talking to us. Voice is in the details. Writing with voice makes the piece unique only to the person who wrote it.

Voice We are going to read: Here Comes the Motherload 2 tasks while reading: Point out the words or phrases that sounds just like the person talking. How does the writer’s words or phrases create voice?

Voice Think of a very young child. What word or phrases sound child like? Pretend the child has fallen down and scratched his knee. Talk like the child. What would he say? How would it sound?

(Practice writing Voice) Trying On a Voice Writing Activity (Practice writing Voice) Pick a scenario: A teacher correcting a noisy class. A mother quieting her crying baby. A person talking to their puppy. A basketball player who just won a championship. Write down the conversation or talking (voice): Remember—choose the right words and expressions that create a unique/distinctive voice.

Creating Voices for Others Objective: Learn how writers write with voice to sound like a character is really talking. Take a look at the characters on the front cover. What do you think their conversation is about? What type of voice will each character have? TASK: Write the conversation (dialogue) you think the each character is having. Use distinctive voice that might sound like the character speaking. REMEMBER: distinct voice, word choice and sentence structure Share!

Writing with Our Own Voice Objective: Writing choosing words or phrases that sound like our own voice. Today you will write using your own distinctive voice. Select one of the following prompts/situations: Mr. R’s example coming up!

Writing with Our Own Voice EXAMPLE: Situation—Finding a $100 bill Voiceless vs. Voice Voiceless: “How nice. I found a hundred dollar bill. I wonder who it belongs to. I can give some to my friend and use the rest to get some new Jordans.” Voice: “Oh my gosh, I can’t believe it! Who could have dropped this? I wonder if it’s OK for me to pick it up. Just think what I could do with this! My friend could get her nails done with that sparkly design she likes, and I could finally buy those new Jordans I’ve been dying to get!”

Writing with Our Own Voice What makes the voice response sound more like a real person? Choose a situation and write a response with VOICE – not Voiceless!!! Share! Then do another situation!
