Adding senses to your writing
Students:
Yesterday we discussed adding senses to your writing. When we add literal and even figurative (there's that big word again) sensory statements to our writing we really start to sound grown up. Can anyone share any other ideas on how you can hear, smell, touch, taste, and see better in your stories?
Miss Samantha shared one with me today that I'll pass on to you...Feeling: I'm steaming in the hot air. Good one, Samantha! Who's next?!?
