Ideas for Teachers from Teachers
How do you teach young writers to carefully select sensory details to include in a piece of personal writing? |
Example Blurb: I love to use all of Patricia MacLachlan's books when I am helping students explore powerful sensory details. Her All the Places to Love is one of the sweetest memoirs ever written, and its a marvelous book to share and show what strong sensory details sound like in writing. It's always useful to make a five-column chart before you read the book--one column for each sense--and to have the students listen for words and phrases in the text that help the reader feel the same sensations as the author.
