The lesson focused on the importance of including not only Sight, but also Sound; Smell; Feeling (texture); and Taste in descriptive writing. Karen says that she uses this sensory checklist when her writing feels accurate but doesn't "pop".
She read a passage from A Girl Named Zippy (Page 138) as an example of good descriptive, multi-sensory writing.
Writer's were then asked to write a full page description based on a strong childhood memory of a place.
Writer's then had a chance to share; those who shard got both positive feedback and "notes" (constructive feedback).
Writers turned in their Senior quotes for yearbook.
