Objectives SWBAT closely observe a familiar object and use imagery and figurative language to describe it.

What is imagery? Quick write: Carefully and thoroughly describe an orange WITHOUT using the words "round" or "orange." Next, Students exchange descriptions with a partner. Each student carefully reads partner's description, then accurately draws the object exactly as his/her partner has described it. Have students label the drawings with direct quotes from their partners descriptions (to keep them honest).

Continued… Ask students to share their partner's description (not their own) if they found it especially insightful, creative, ridiculous, or impossible to draw. Share your partner’s description. How did you feel about their description?

Instead of working from memory, you are now gong to write from close observation. Using an orange, describe to someone who has never encountered an orange how to mentally see, smell, taste, touch-and maybe even hear-one by reading your description. You will be spending the rest of this class period observing and describing your orange, so take your time. Be thorough. Be original. Be amazing. Description should be in the form of a haiku.
